For this episode of BioScience Talks, we were joined by Dr. Kristy Ferraro, who is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Adam Meyer, a PhD candidate in the Ecosystem Ecology Lab, also at Memorial University. They were here to talk about their recent article in BioScience, "Beyond hero and villain narratives in ecology and conservation science," in which they discuss storytelling and narratives in science writing—and explain which approaches work best.
