Why and How to Tell Stories about Science

This event will feature presentations by Iain McCalman, author of "The Reef: A Passionate History: The Great Barrier Reef from Captain Cook to Climate Change," and authors Steven Palumbi and Anthony Palumbi, "The Extreme Life of the Sea." Additional speakers include Professor Margaret Cohen and Professor Buzz Thompson.

The authors will be discussing the relationship between narrative and science, as they approach science with humanist modes of story-telling and with an interesting comparison of how they support our understanding of environmental urgency. They will provide stunning visuals and film clips with their lively talks.
