Telling stories of nature, wildlife, conservation, public health, and so much more involve a scientific element. Working in that science sphere can be daunting but two experts, Esther Horvath and Jen Guyton can lead you through to a clear path. From working with scientists, to creating visually-appealing images, to stringing together a narrative there is much to consider but these two powerhouses will instruct on every aspect of the science storytelling process.
