Abstract
An often undervalued skill in science, storytelling is a powerful tool for communicating research to diverse audiences. As scientists, we ought to focus on crafting the narrative of our work: it can effectively convey knowledge to the research community, disseminate findings to lay audiences and help us clarify our own thinking about projects. Although sometimes overlooked, storytelling is a powerful tool for communicating scientific research. In this World View, Julia Bauman outlines what is needed to convey a strong scientific narrative, gleaned from her experience making 60-second TikTok videos summarizing published research papers.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Cancer, a part of the Nature Reviews portfolio of journals, aims to be the premier source of reviews and commentaries for the scientific communities it serves. The correct abbreviation for abstracting and indexing purposes is Nat. Rev. Cancer. The international standard serial numbers (ISSN) for Nature Reviews Cancer are 1474-175X (print) and 1474-1768 (online). Unlike other journals, Nature Reviews Cancer does not have an external editorial board. Instead, all editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors who are PhD-level scientists. The journal publishes Research Highlights, Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives relevant to cancer researchers, ensuring that the articles reach the widest possible audience due to their broad scope.
