155: Science Communication with Shahir Rizk and Maggie Fink

Today Professor Shahir Rizk and Ph.D. Candidate Maggie Fink join us to discuss their thoughts on effectively communicating science.  Our conversation is wide-ranging, and goes through fostering fascination, treating people with dignity, listening (instead of trying to change minds), telling stories, and deciding what you want people to leave the room with. 

Shahir and Maggie developed and host a science communication workshop and they are also hard at work on an upcoming popular science book on proteins that they are signed to publish with Harvard press. Their website is foldingmoonlight.com.
