Materials Research Society-National Science Foundation PREM Research Scholars Summit—How to Turn Your Science Into a Story

 

Wednesday, April 12
9:30 am - 11:30 am
Marriott, Lower B2 Level, Nob Hill

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.

This event is being presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a part of the MRS-NSF PREM Research Scholars Summit.  All are welcome to attend.
