Most science communication today is short and fast — but at the Institute of Natural Sciences they also try something different. Together with colleagues, Siska Van Parys works on long-form stories that highlight the institute’s core research areas — palaeontology, geology, archaeology, taxonomy, evolution — and the collections that support them. They create overview articles on the website, mini-documentaries about expeditions and fieldwork, and stories that spotlight the people behind the research.

In this SciComm Academy Lunch Talk, Siska will share some of the projects she’s been involved in, what they hope to achieve with them, and why slow science communication has become part of their approach.
