This talk will present a tried-and-tested working model for storytelling in science, combining a keen understanding of what makes a narrative engaging and the importance of structure with a strategic perspective on the relationship between good stories and good funding—all illustrated through recent case studies.

When it comes to making engaging content, it helps to start with three questions: What are you trying to communicate? Who are you trying to reach? And why would they be interested? This talk will introduce how the answers will help you understand how science can make stories more compelling for audiences across different media. Drawing from experience in film, television and games, it will cover how the choices you make will change the audience you reach and the impact your content will have.

How do we stream science while also ensuring compelling and well-founded science narratives? This session introduces a new platform that is a more than just a portal; it is also curated magazine and a space for experimentation. This session will shed light on how to create a dynamic and evolving space where educators, filmmakers, scientists, and artists interact. The films are nodes in a larger network of interconnected material that provides new and malleable readings of scientific content.
