In this first May post, let's discuss how we move science beyond the lab and into spaces where people already are through storytelling.
Across the AAAS community, more members are exploring formats like podcasts, blogs, and newsletters to share their work in ways that are accessible, engaging, and far-reaching. These tools offer practical ways to extend the impact of research while building stronger connections with public audiences.
Within the Local Science Engagement Network (LSEN), this kind of storytelling is key to making science more relevant and actionable across communities. Whether it's breaking down complex topics in a blog post, or creating conversational entry points through a podcast, format matters in how science is understood and shared.
