SCIENCE STORYTELLING WEEK
September 20–26, 2026
Everyone has a science story to tell.
Science shapes our health, our relationships, our communities, and the way we understand the world around us. But behind every discovery, diagnosis, and breakthrough is a human story.
This Science Storytelling Week, help The Story Collider bring those stories to life.
Your support helps storytellers share their experiences, gives more people access to science storytelling workshops, brings unforgettable stories to the stage, and keeps our growing archive of true, personal science stories accessible to everyone.
Help us reveal the human side of science—one story at a time.

Why Science Stories Matter
Stories connect us. They help us make sense of our experiences, understand perspectives different from our own, and see the world in new ways.
Science is often communicated through facts and figures. But behind every breakthrough, diagnosis, experiment, and unanswered question is a person—and a story.
The stories we tell about science reveal how deeply it is woven into our everyday lives. They can help us understand complex ideas, build empathy and trust, challenge assumptions, and remind us that science is not just a body of knowledge, but a deeply human endeavour.
Science Storytelling Week is a chance to celebrate those stories and the people who tell them. By sharing our experiences, we can make science more accessible, more personal, and more connected to the world we all share.
