The Science of Storytelling, Part 2: How to Write a Strong Opening

Association of Science Communicators

"A strong opening determines whether a reader commits to your story or drifts away. In Part 1, we looked at the narrative tools that shape effective science communication—especially the And–But–Therefore (ABT) structure. Now we focus on the first 2–3 paragraphs, where those tools matter most. The goal of a good opening is simple: spark curiosity, deliver clarity, and introduce tension that propels the reader forward."

Storytelling for Scientists: When You Need It and What To Do

This article delves into "the general properties of science storytelling, its limitations and downsides, and then a little about specific tactics for creating different types of science content – from posters to presentations." Although, "a scientific article does not necessarily have to be a story. Its main purpose is different. Storytelling is just a tool, and it should be used wisely.

How Clear and Simple Data Visualizations Bring the Climate Crisis Home

"Data visualizations are some of the most powerful tools in a climate science communicator’s playbook. The most famous have taken on enormous symbolic value — like the 'Hockey Stick' graph showing rising temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere since the year 1000. But designing climate visuals that are clear to the public and policy makers is not a straightforward task. ... There is growing evidence that more intuitive visualizations, informed by psychological research, can help people make better sense of climate data." See multiple examples of visuals.
