From Lab Bench to Bar Stool: Storytelling Strategies for Public Science Talks
June 18, 2025
Sharing our research with the public is one of the most rewarding—and challenging—parts of being a scientist. Whether at a conference, in a classroom, or over a pint at a pub, we have a responsibility to make science accessible, engaging, and meaningful. Public engagement with science and outreach events are special because here we have members of the public who have chosen to spend their valuable time engaging with science, and as educators and scientists, there is a responsibility on us to share our knowledge and help to enhance public understanding of science.
