Finally got round to framing this. Feels like a lifetime ago 🏊‍♀️

Some snaps from today’s Storytelling for Researchers training at Uni of Reading.

Storytelling is a powerful communication tool, but must be used responsibly!

at UCL to coach some quantum physics professors. Did you know I do coaching? I want to do more of it, it’s super rewarding working with senior people on better communication while also desperately trying to remember my undergraduate quantum mechanics lectures from a thousand years ago

Woohoo this course is popping off! Get it while it's hot 🔥

Today I’m with researchers at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social talking about responsible research communication.

We thought about narratives in research, and how these influence audience expectations.

Any narratives we missed?

Woah, hello new followers! I haven’t posted on here much so far, but this year you can expect lots of storytelling shenanigans, writing chat and hopefully some useful stuff too. The occasional unsolicited dog pic.

Good morning to all the writers who said they’d finish the thing by the end of the year

Time for the Storyology Christmas party with my colliegue Spud

Did someone say blue sky?

Back to my desk today after a week of hiking in the Lake District with my dog Spud.

Follow me for more wholesome dog content, as well as chatter about science communication, storytelling and materials science.
