Science Storytelling

Non-profit organizations Transom Story Lab and Atlantic Public Media hosted a weekend-long science storytelling workshop called "Making Waves." It was attended by 11 scientists from scientific institutions throughout Woods Hole, Massachusetts, including USGS scientists Jin-Si Over, Ellen Lalk, and Sara Zeigler. The scientists worked with the acclaimed director and producer of The Moth Radio Hour to develop personal, poignant stories. Sophie Crane, executive director of Transom, said that “This workshop is about helping scientists share not just what they do, but the inspiration and humanity fueling their labors, why it matters — and why it matters here, in this community.” Storytellers had the opportunity to share their stories with a live audience on June 24.
