\u201cLike sushi? You\u2019re going to love this.\u201d That was the hook to an intriguing story about fertility and zebrafish research happening at 麻豆传媒在线. As told by the student researchers involved with the project, their style of scientific storytelling earned them the top prize in the University\u2019s Mario M. Casabona Future Scientists Awards competition, which recognizes students for making research more understandable and accessible.<\/p>\n
Being an effective science communicator is more important than ever in explaining the work science researchers do, why they do and why it matters, says Melissa Spigelman \u201923, a first-year graduate student in Molecular Biology. She\u2019s among the team that sees potential in their research with the zebrafish in advancing fertility and women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
I do really impactful research. But I realize that no one\u2019s going to use my discovery or care about my discovery if I can\u2019t adequately explain my discovery.<\/p>\n
