About 

The Story Laboratory is an award-winning science communications and learning consultancy. We specialize in optimizing the persuasive power of stories told in words, images and data graphics. Our goal is to transform the output of scientific models and investigations into meaningful, motivating stories of human inquiry--and wonder.

Our purpose is to solve science communications and learning problems through cogent translational science writing across print, mobile and Web media.

Our method relies on the advanced academic training and graduate degrees we hold in science; our mastery of storytelling techniques, scientific subject matter, visual rhetoric, content-centered design, E-learning strategies and technology-enhanced learning.

Our results matter. We strive to create meaning, we design for understanding.

We create stories and sites of insight.

Sure, go ahead, contact me! And come visit me at one of my Pop-Up Planaria Labs, like the one pictured below in the summer of 2019 in Zumbrota, Minnesota, at the Goodhue County Fair. I'm booking now -- contact me to get on my schedule!

How 

Four principles  frame our work:
  • Story is the natural unit of meaning and learning in human life. 
  • Smart stories boldly told in words, pictures and data graphics inspire action and influence outcomes.
  • It is not enough simply to write science. As writers, we must get ourselves read by engaging readers across print, mobile and Web media.
  • Mastery of writing craft, scientific content and communication technologies catalyze the deep and desired engagement with readers.

In the 5 -second video below, watch the regenerative flatworm called a planarian shortly after its head was cut from its body. Yep, that triangle-y thing is its head and photoreceptors ( they are not really the cross-eyes they resemble) swimming away...without its body.
