Finding Your Narrative:
A Different Kind of
Reductionism

Scientific Discourse in Action

* Communication isn’t just about what you say and what’son your PowerPoint slides. It’s how you say it.
* Tone of voice, body language, eye contact (or lack thereof) and other intangibles all play important roles.
* It’s all about connecting with your audience. Without that,there can be no real communication.

The Challenge:

* There are increasingly diverse types of media formatsand a general trend towards integrating them.
* This means we must be flexible and adaptable whencommunicating science. The message must fit the format.
* Fortunately, there is one common element to them all:
Know Your Target Audience and Media Format

THE NEED FOR A STRONG, COMPELLING CORE NARRATIVE
![Page 7: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The trick to good communication is finding the core narrative of your research topic.
Once you have that,you can add layers of details as needed to suit any format or target audience.
Science has its “Ur” stories, too!
![Page 8: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The same basic principle applies to technical talks and papers for other scientists. They appreciate clear, concise communication and a compelling story, too.
Even if you have no interest in regularly communicating with the media or general public, the same skills apply to communicating with your fellow physicists.
This applies to all scientific communication!

STEP 1: Foster “Beginner’s Mind” Remember what it was like not to know.
STEP 2: Practice Creative “Reductionism”Boil everything down to just the most basic, critical elements.
This is NOT “dumbing down.” It’s finding your E=mc2.
How do we find that core narrative?

Reheating of the universe in the inflationary model
CASE STUDY:
![Page 11: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are the core elements?
CONTEXT: The birth and evolution of our universe.
PROTAGONIST: The universe itself
FAMILIAR STORY ARC(S): Classic “origin story” Coming-of-age archetype
![Page 12: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A mystery that must be solved!
In this case: what is the mechanism that caused this key transitional phase and gave rise to the particles in the universe?
THE CENTRAL CONFLICT:
![Page 13: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WE HAVE A SUSPECT: Parametric resonance
WE HAVE CLUES: Data/observations to date
WE HAVE CONSTRAINTS: The known physics models
![Page 14: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Voila! We have our core narrative!
![Page 15: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Now we can start adding layers of complexity.
![Page 16: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The devil is in the details….
![Page 17: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WHAT IS THE BACKSTORY?Introduce us to our protagonist: The Universe. Give us what has happened to date/what is known thus far.
WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?Introduce us to what you’re trying to find out, and why it’s important that you “solve” the case.
Context is everything!
![Page 18: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHO IS THE SUSPECT? Introduce us to parametric resonance.
WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE? Why might it be the “culprit”?
The Cause of the Conflict
![Page 19: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN:
What is the broader context for your topic?
Who is the protagonist?
What is the main story arc?
What is the central conflict?
![Page 20: Finding Your Narrative:](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812ac6550346895d8e9d2e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Give us the backstory.
Outline the facts of the “case” and why we need to solve it.
Introduce us to the prime “suspect.”
Explain the evidence and why it implicates the suspect.
MAKE YOUR CASE:
