Narrative skills workshops

Everyone wants to hear a good story, and great storytellers can bring an entire room to a standstill, so why not use these skills to explain your science?

Led by an ex-BBC executive producer, the skills and theory covered here will ensure that people will want to listen to your story.

Our 2010 and 2011 sessions were extremely popular, so contact us if you are interested in taking part in one of our sessions in 2012, which will be running on the following dates:

  • 3-4 February for PhD students
  • 22-23 March for Sir Henry Wellcome Fellows and early postdoctoral researchers
  • 26-27 April for Intermediate and Mid-Career Fellows and postdoctoral researchers
  • 24-25 May for Sir Henry Wellcome Fellows and early postdoctoral researchers.
