About the show

After 15 years working as a professional storyteller, I’m now on a mission to help researchers maximise impact with effective collaboration, engagement, and communication.

This series features deep dive conversations with everyone from researchers who make engagement a core part of their job, to professional science communicators, as well some folks you might not expect...

Like screenwriters, directors, brand strategists, actors, and even comedians who have a passion for research impact.
