UMass Dartmouth Scientist Stories: A Live Storytelling Event
Hosted by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology
Scientist Stories is a live, participatory event that brings together early career scientists at UMass Dartmouth and community members to share and hear stories about science, the environment, and our human connection to it. Featuring live storytellers telling short 5–8-minute stories in New Bedford, MA, this is a unique opportunity for storytellers to share their stories of hope with the community in a relatable, entertaining and engaging way to a large and diverse audience.
Storytellers will be selected from a range of backgrounds and experiences and will receive support and 1 on 1 coaching to craft compelling, heartfelt stories —whether through moments of resilience in the face of environmental challenges, surprising connections between people and place, or personal journeys sparked by science. Whether funny, poignant, or powerful, each story will shine a light on the personal connections of scientists to their science.
Storytellers may be students, staff, and early career faculty at UMass Dartmouth with a science-related story to tell. We define “science” very broadly, and include social, natural, physical, and related sciences.
The event will take place at The First Unitarian Church in New Bedford, located at 71 8th Street, New Bedford, MA. There will be street parking available and the rear entrance is fully accessible.
