#ScienceCommunication isn’t just about creativity. Teamwork and organisation is part of it, too!

We spend a lot of time brainstorming how to make science stick, and this study's fantastic! It used sci-fi storytelling workshops to discuss harmful algal blooms. The insights on engaging diverse communities & narrative power are incredibly insightful.

☺️ Good news: Americans generally see scientists as intelligent.
😞 Bad news: They don’t think we’re great communicators.
Why does this matter? If we can’t share our research effectively, how will it reach the audiences who need it most?
