“So, what’s your story?” Why researchers should love to answer this question (and ask it frequently) Keynote by Anne Schreiter, Ph.D.
💡Research is driven by new ideas. But new ideas fall flat if you cannot develop them with others, raise funding to kick-start the project, or cannot publish the results.
💡These challenges in your career are part of a system that is funded by mostly public, and sometimes private, sources.
💡Doing research is not just an individual pursuit or a personal challenge – your research is woven into the fabric of a greater society.
💡Your research, your ideas, and your career challenges are linked to society's expectations, progress, and limitations.
💡It is therefore not enough to be an excellent researcher and creator of great ideas. You must also communicate your research and ideas to different audiences, and at times you will have to justify them.
💡There are good reasons why you should become (more) comfortable with the best tool you have to communicate your research: Storytelling.
At the 2024 Storytelling Symposium, we discussed storytelling
1) as a building block for the practice of research,
2) as a career booster,
3) as a responsibility to society.
