Storytelling as a Scientist

During this symposium, we’ll show you how you can create a compelling story about your work that professional audiences, both scientific and non-scientific, can understand. Speakers will share their perspectives on how to break down key scientific messages, with a focus on gene therapy, and how to explain them to different audiences through various media channels.
