Training and Storytelling
All science tells a story...
Have me speak at your event
Ever heard a scientific ghost story? Heard how alchemy led to the first discovery of an element? Or do you want to know how Mössbauer spectroscopy might tell us whether Vogons are planning to blow up the earth?
Science stage performances can be adapted for children or adults, comedy or drama, and may include puppetry or scientific demonstrations.

Are you interested in scientific storytelling? Do you want to improve your

Presentation skills
Or perhaps you are interested in accessible evaluation?
From how to talk to your cat about science to statistically significant evaluation interpretation, contact me to discuss your training needs.
So, you think you know how to evaluate? Taking the time to be insightful about your evaluation could change the way you do science communication. This deep dive will include crafting questions, unmasking bloopers, and putting techniques on trial. There’ll also be time for peer-to-peer sharing and reflection.
This all-in-one presentation skills training includes tips and tricks, theory, and confidence-boosting activities to help you nail that "hard to define" onstage quality charisma.
Doing evaluation ‘for the sake of it’? In this workshop, we’ll discuss why you should spend more time thinking what evaluation to do – and sometimes not do any. To ensure evaluation doesn’t interfere with your audience, we’ll introduce reflective methods, and showcase – surprisingly – some inaccessible ones!
Whether its impending exams, a scary presentation, or resilience training, people are turning to strategies such as mindfulness to help them through - but is mindfulness always a good thing? In this accessibility workshop, I explore how mindfulness can be abused and misused in the wrong hands – but also how it can be extremely beneficial – when used mindfully.
Transport your science from the lab to the page! Bottle down your message and ID your audience, get a grasp on your graphs and steal from storytelling. In this workshop, we will apprehend fundamental bloopers and practice self-evaluation.
Master misuse and steal from storytelling as we apprehend presentation crimes and introduce tactics that transform simple talks into shining masterpieces.
