Why doesn’t 30°C always feel like 30°C?

Ever thought a game of catch could teach you about research communication?
That was how Matt Williamson opened his Storytelling for Research Workshop yesterday: if no one catches the ball, there’s no conversation. This showed why stories are a powerful way to start conversations.
