Hi Sue,
Thanks for your comments and I am pleased to be in touch with a fellow storytelling evangelist. We often work with scientists who have remarkable stories but discount them as irrelevant, or soft (that’s if they even consider them in the first place). To be fair – many people don’t consider storytelling when it comes to their public communication. But I find (and am sure you do to) that it’s the nuggets or real life stuff that people think is uninteresting that is actually the most compelling and memorable after the event.
Best,
Laura

totally agree with telling real stories – this is something I have been doing for years and actually created a specific space for telling science stories at Catalyst science centre Widnes.
As a processional science presenter delivering shows to schools and the public I know that a show will not come together in the development stage unless it has a strong narrative thread – somewhere to take the audience. Yes the facts are important of course but if your listener has turned off because they have lost the thread your facts are wasted.
Stories ( or a definite narrative) work for all ages and a good science communicator can make even complex subjects accessible through a well told tale
