Several years ago, I wrote a 2-page guide on how to give a killer narratively-driven scientific talk. I called it "The David Attenborough Method", in homage to the master storyteller. https://t.co/fROAFOYNBM I recently expanded upon it in a short essay:
I teach a class on how to give a great scientific talk. The core idea is that humans absorb information effortlessly if it is delivered as a compelling story. I call it the 'David Attenborough' method, in honor of the master. Attached is my style guide. #scicomm @Attenboroughs_D

Quantifying the potential economic impact of antimicrobial resistance is one way of trying to get government attention to address the problem...this article looks at how much Australia could save if we reduced resistance in just 3 types of infections..

It is such an honor to be @SydneyChemistry as the Hans Freeman lecturer! In preparation, I read up on old papers of Prof Freeman (recommend), and share this gem with you. Yes, indeed, #MetalsAndPeptides are still a subject of increasing biochemical interest!
We’re so fortunate to have Kathy @FranzLabDuke visiting @SydneyChemistry for a couple of weeks as the Hans Freeman lecturer. Enjoying her public lecture now and looking forward to more talks and discussions to come. @Sydney_Science @SBICofficial

As planet-warming carbon emissions rise, a major solution to climate change is growing beneath our feet. A study published Monday in Current Biology found that fungi gobble up more than a…
