Join us for:
"When Science and Storytelling Collide: Personal Narratives as Tools for Science Communication"
on June 5 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM PDT with Story Collider's Dr. Leslie Berntsen!
What makes for a compelling story? How can you start constructing your own stories from the ground up? How can you fit science into your story without lapsing into Scientist Voice? In this fast-paced interactive lecture, you'll learn the fundamentals of story structure and composition, brainstorm the building blocks of your own personal stories, and learn how to apply these skills to communicate science in ways that can educate, entertain, persuade, and inspire.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Dr. Leslie Berntsen is a social scientist, once-and-former college professor, and the current Director of Education and Research at The Story Collider. She specializes in inclusive pedagogy, teaching social issues, and popular science communication and has been nationally recognized with four teaching awards from the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues over a seven year period. (She tries to remain as chill about this as a person possibly can.) Leslie’s writing has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Science, and The Huffington Post, and you can also find the earliest drafts of her forthcoming op-eds on Twitter – which she will stubbornly continue to use until the very last server crashes. Her high school debate team once named her “Most Likely to Color-Code Her Plans to Grassroots Resistance” and she has – with no effort required – been living up to it ever since.
