It’s where it all starts: we meet our project partners & learn about their science.
For us, kick-off meetings are key moments to create first footage & a deeper understanding about the research that we’ll be communicating.
We always leave inspired, ready to turn complex research into clear stories

Natural history museums post on YouTube—but rarely about their science. 📹🦋
A study of 437 videos from 28 US museums shows research & collections are underused, missing a big chance for public engagement.

Together with camera operator Stefano Petti, our colleagues Ute and Mathis filmed Umbrian farmer & beekeeper Virginia Ruspolini, a living lab participant in the LEGUMINOSE project.
That meant suiting up for safety 🐝, sitting on the ground, & recording an interview with the bees all around.

Not every interview happens in a studio. Sometimes it’s a field in Umbria, bees buzzing, and a beekeeper’s story to tell.
That’s sci-comm in action — adapting on the spot.
