Storytelling for Scientists

Caltech Theater presents a virtual presentation of 6 storytellers sharing their science stories and personal stories around synergy.

Presenters, including postdoctoral scholars, a graduate student, and an alumnus, have been working with Caltech Theater Director Brian Brophy for the past ten weeks. Brophy's emphasis has been on crafting their stories with a focus on content as well as proper vocal techniques (tone, pitch, delivery, articulation, tempo, rhythm), non-verbal communication, with relaxation exercises, and peer-to-peer critiques.

Join us to hear stories of Richard Feynman's biggest challenge; the joy of rapid, dead stars; new cancer techniques; the disease of volunteerism, and more.

This event is free and open to the public.
