Today's episode is a deep dive with comedian, science communicator, and storyteller, Alanta Colley.

Alanta has translated her background working in international public health into a series of incredible comedy shows, including "Trick or Treatment" debuting at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival (https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/trick-or-treatment).

She also hosts workshops on science communication and storytelling, and our conversation covers — 

  • Putting the researcher back into the story
  • The power of failure as a communication tool
  • The importance of listening and asking questions
  • Iterating your message as you get feedback
  • And a whole lot more...
