🐟What stories do you tell about your research?
🐟What stories are you listening to?
🐟Could you be listening differently?
🐟What stories do we need to tell together?

Questions posed in a thought-provoking start to #ASFB2025 from Jess Melbourne-Thomas, on science storytelling in a challenging future.

To celebrate #NationalScienceWeek I want to share my favourite aspect of science - combining my love of nature with my curiosity (my inner "but why?" 3yr old!).
Seeking solutions for biodiversity, fundamental for a healthy planet and society.
