Why Storytelling Matters in Science
Information presented via storytelling is 20x more likely to be retained than just facts (HBR)
Scientific storytelling isn’t just a communications tactic—it’s a strategic tool that drives memory, action, and funding. At The Sophia Consulting Firm, we help clients move beyond data dumps and deliver narratives that stick.
