Our guest this week is Jared Lipworth, Executive Producer and head of Outreach and Impact at HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. Recent NSTA Conference attendees will recognize HHMI’s “Night at the Movies” hosted at the annual Conference. Without a physical conference to attend, we wanted to help share some of the media produced by the studio that harness the power of storytelling to inspire interest in science. Jared joins us to talk about the mission of Tangled Bank Studios, describes the kinds of stories they create and even shares a little advice to teachers and students making their own visual stories.
