Science is a part of everyone\u2019s life and everyone has a story. The best available science tells us that for most audiences, stories are more interesting, understandable, convincing, and memorable than evidence\u2010focused communications. Yet scientists are unfamiliar with this literature and rarely share their work using a narrative style. Two events at #ESA2017 offer exposure to and practice with telling your own stories! The first is a discussion and social and the second is a live show. Read on for more details!<\/p>\n
