Data is not enough for science. We need to learn to tell stories - CEO of Linux Group Hamid Ghanadan

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2315496/fan_mail/new] In this episode of BioInventors, we talk with Hamid Ghanadan about why great science alone isn’t enough—and how communication and storytelling shape success in science. Why data doesn’t actually change people’s minds The role of psychology in scientific decision-making How storytelling makes science more impactful The difference between skepticism vs. curiosity (and why it matters) Simple ways to engage your audience (even at poster sessions) Why many scientists struggle with communication and how to fix it Great scientists aren’t just smart—they’re great storytellers Communication is what turns discovery → impact You don’t persuade people with facts—you guide them into curiosity Asking the right question can be more powerful than explaining everything Who This Is For: Students in science or engineering Aspiring biotech founders Researchers presenting their work Anyone who wants to communicate ideas more effectively “It doesn’t matter how groundbreaking your discovery is, if no one understands or accepts it, your job as a scientist isn’t finished.” Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2315496/support]
