Storytelling has been part of our history as far back as we can tell, and science shows that incorporating storytelling elements into our scientific presentations improves audience interaction and retention of knowledge presented. In this workshop, you will learn the science behind storytelling, the key elements required to engage your audience, and how to keep your audience engaged by developing a narrative arc for your science. This workshop is sure to help improve any presentation for any audience. Secure your seat here.
