Scicomm Journal Club Podcast - E19 - Poetry for SciComm

In this episode, we welcome a guest, who is a poet (the BBC said so!) and a scientist - Dr Sam Illingworth. We talk about how powerful poetry is as a conversation starter, as an expression, as a bonding and outreach mechanism for science. We covered (half) of his paper Creative communication – using poetry and games to generate dialogue between scientists and nonscientists in a Twitter Chat. The paper can be found here . The Moments from the chat are here . Follow Sam on Twitter @samillingworth, on his blog The Poetry of Science and the Podcast with the same title. The poem you hear in the beginning of the episode is written and read by Sam. Hear about the research that inspired it here .
