50¶È»Ò

The 50¶È»Ò Storytellers program is a science communication initiative that truly humanizes the research published at 50¶È»Ò. This program harnesses the power of storytelling to help expand authors’ influence beyond their scholarly circles and allows them to reach the public in a very personal and relatable way.

50¶È»Ò Storytellers is the result of a strategic partnership with The Story Collider, a non-profit organization that brings true, personal stories about science to life both through lives shows and a weekly podcast. Producers at The Story Collider individually coach researchers through preparing their stories, which are then shared at live shows held in conjunction with major conferences. All of these stories are recorded and streamed on the official 50¶È»Ò Storytellers podcast, .
