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.
