Telling the Future of Science: How Stories Build Curiosity, Trust, and Connection

Wednesday, March 18 at 12pm ET

This is a free event, but seats may be limited.

As scientific misinformation grows, storytelling is becoming an essential tool for the classroom. Join world-class science communicators and authors Carl Zimmer and Jim Morris to explore how narrative can strengthen literacy and reconnect students with the world. You will walk away with practical strategies to use storytelling as a way to foster engagement, build credibility, and give your students genuine reasons for hope.

Zimmer will open the session with a shared conversation about the role of narrative in making science meaningful, followed by a panel that digs into practical classroom strategies.
