31. Science Storytelling

Stories have been used by humans through generations to pass on wisdom, culture, and knowledge. This episode is about science storytelling—a communication technique that informs and educates people about science using the power of storytelling. Science storytelling can combat the spread of misinformation, shape our perception of the world, determine how we respond to controversial issues, and make us care more about critical issues like the COVID-19 pandemic. Meet Sara ElShafie, a science storytelling coach and a biologist, who works at the intersection of science and entertainment to make science accessible and exciting for the masses. Then visit Berkeley, a small city with a big reputation. Berkeley is home to the oldest University of California campus, the element berkelium, the Free Speech Movement, and California cuisine.
