Learn more about what we do from this glossary of The Story Laboratory’s scientific communications product line:
- Press releases translate technical research reports from peer-reviewed journals into conversational English for quick and easy media pickup.
- Explanatory stories; expository stories, feature stories all convey core science messages in the most effective narrative form for print and Web. We write stories for annual reports, development brochures, internal communications, professional newsletters, newspaper columns, and legacy histories of individual scientists and institutions.
- White papers distill the state of knowledge or best practices on a given scientific topic for distribution to policy-making groups to aid in analysis.
- Web content and information design of Web sites creates engaging, accessible core content for medical schools, physician groups, laboratories, clinics, researchers and others. You don’t want “clip words” and “clip art” on the digital face you turn to the world, do you?
- Graphics communication services provide strategic review of your written content, then employ the principles of visual rhetoric to create images that relieve words of the task of making meaning. We work with your designers to redistribute meaning in images—or do it ourselves at The Story Lab.
- Informational graphics lighten the load of text-heavy pages for scientific PowerPoint presentations, museum exhibits, Web sites and newsletters. With informational graphics, we compress and enliven information for easy access and long retention.
- PowerPoint and KeyNote makeovers that are informed by the principles of visual rhetoric maximize the communicative power of your presentation.
- Science curriculum writing services range from creating multi-learning style lessons in geology for first-graders to designing continuing medical education learning modules for physicians. Curricula may be formatted for traditional classroom delivery, or for Web-based instruction using various technology enhanced learning tools such as Moodle.
- Ghost-writing of book chapters, speeches, editorials and journal commentary conveys your key points and methods in an appropriate editorial voice.
