about us

We are a written science communication platform that provides a safe space and support for anyone who wants to learn how to communicate science and research to a wider audience.

Do you want to pitch an article or become a regular contributor?

We welcome pitches and contributors from all fields. You can write about any topic that tickles your interest and from any perspective as long as you take inspiration from the current theme in relation to research/science! We do most of the visuals in-house, but are happy to support collaborations between art & research, intersections between different fields, or any other interesting initiatives.

Theme – The stories that shape and share research

Discoveries are a consequence of creativity – the ability to see what others cannot. In science and research, innovation often starts with a question. Sometimes it’s the “obvious,” the “naive,” or the delightfully unconventional questions that open the door to new ideas and surprising connections. We invite you to tell the story of how such a creative spark—an insight, a question, or a moment of curiosity—moved your field forward.Scientific storytelling doesn’t end with discovery. How we share research also shapes how that story is understood. Communicating science in vivid, accessible ways is its own creative craft. Therefore, we also welcome pieces that explore how art, fiction, media, and other creative forms bring scientific ideas to life, helping new audiences connect with research and its meaning.
