“Eureka Talks is engaging and fun. I was surprised to realize how often
people didn’t understand me when I previously talked about my
science.The gap in public understanding of science is wider than we often
realize. This story telling significantly broadened the range of audience,
subsequently increasing the impact of the science.”

“I think my favorite part of speaking at Eureka Talks was getting great
feedback from members of the community. It’s given me a lot to think about
as I think about where I want to go next, and I just love the chance to get
candid, real time feedback on work that I’m doing.”
