Talk at The Jackson Laboratory: “How to see a ghost, think like a molecule, and write like a scientist”

I finally have a reasonably good filmed version of the talk I’ve been giving around Europe and the US, thanks to my hosts at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor Maine. This talk was given on June 5, 2019, and scratches the surface of a “new model of the relationship between science and communication,” which I have written about in detail on previous posts, for example

and

This approach has fundamentally changed the way I think about science communication and has, I think, profound implications for teaching and learning science, communicating it to a wide public, and even improving the quality of research.

The talk can always be improved, and I am still collecting examples… All feedback would be greatly appreciated.
