elevate and bring to life the human side of their research. The workshop, co-hosted by Woods Hole non-profit organizations The

Public Media</a></span><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">, will bring together a top story director from

<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">Following the three-day training workshop, Transom Story Lab and Atlantic Public Media will host a public Story Slam where some of the participants will share their stories, and
audience members will be invited to do the same. The event will be Tuesday, June 24, from 7–9 PM at the Woods Hole Community Hall. Jay Allison, award-winning public radio producer and founder of
<i>The Moth Radio Hour</i>, will emcee the event, with music from renowned musician Carla Kihlstedt. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">"We believe that great science and great stories both emerge from curiosity," said Sophie Crane, Executive Director of Transom. “This workshop is about helping scientists share not
just what they do, but the inspiration and humanity fueling their labors, why it matters — and why it matters
<i>here,</i> in this community.”</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 12pt 0in; font-family: "Cambria", serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The workshop aims to bridge the growing gap between science and society by helping researchers speak not just to peers, but to neighbors, families, and the broader public about the
remarkable stories <i>behind</i> their work.</span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin: 12pt 0in; font-family: "Cambria", serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">The organizers hope participants will represent scientists as well as a range of occupations related to scientific work —including engineers, divers, pilots, sea cooks, administrators,
spouses —all those who support scientific study. They will come from Woods Hole’s celebrated scientific institutions and beyond, and their stories will be human, mind-blowing, moving, and funny. </span></p>
