Storytelling for Scientists and Researchers
Crafting compelling narratives to share science and research with clarity, emotion, and impact
Storytelling is a powerful tool for science and research communication — helping researchers connect with their audience, bring meaning to data, and inspire curiosity and engagement.
Our storytelling and narrative training formats introduce researchers to the fundamentals of story structure and narrative thinking, then guide them in applying those tools to real research communication challenges — from public talks to teaching, team collaboration, or outreach.
Workshops are practical, interactive, and adaptable for all levels of experience. Participants walk away with a toolkit of storytelling strategies, as well as draft stories they can refine and share.
