Science and the Art of Storytelling with Dr. Nick Castle
7–8:30 p.m.
Wayland Free Public Library, 5 Concord Road
Science needs more storytellers. We like to make a dividing line between researchers and communicators, but effective communication is at the very heart of science. Most science is told as dry facts without motivating context. From the proposal pitch, into the lab, and through to publication, the ability to tell a captivating story is essential. If you’re interested in science but deterred by the need for a doctoral degree, then this lecture is for you. Free.
