The Scientist is a Storyteller


I always stress the fact that presenting scientific data or describing a scientific achievement needs a good story. The scientist should be also a storyteller that captures the audience attention, that stimulate curiosity and that evoke mental images.

I have just found a short article by Roald Hoffmann (chemist, Nobel laureate and engaging writer) that says the same things, but in a much better way.

I'm happy you find it interesting!

I have to add that Andrew Glassner from Microsoft Research had done the Keynote Address at the IEEE VizWeek conference stressing the fact that we are hardwired to tell (and understand) stories and that, before creating a visualization, we should ask ourself: "Who is the hero here?"
