She became the first child in the world to receive it. And against the odds, it worked. Her cancer went into remission. Her recovery gave hope to many and became a turning point, capturing the attention of the public, the media, and the pharmaceutical industry. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novartis.com\/stories\/how-emilys-act-bravery-inspired-wave-continued-innovation\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Novartis even accelerated their investment<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in CAR-T research, leading to the development and eventual approval of the first CAR-T cell therapy. Something to note is that it wasn\u2019t just the science that made headlines\u2014it was Emily\u2019s story. So, think about it: Why did this story stand out in a sea of clinical data? Because it had a face, a voice, and a story people could care about.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why storytelling matters in biomedical science<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Emily\u2019s case is more than just a medical milestone\u2014it\u2019s a reminder of what happens when powerful science meets powerful storytelling. Biomedical research is fascinating, but let\u2019s face it: it\u2019s often dense, technical, and hard to follow for anyone outside the field. To a non-specialist, unfamiliar terms, complex methods, and layers of data can make it feel out of reach. But wrap that same research in a clear, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4445577\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">compelling story<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and suddenly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advancinghealth.ubc.ca\/research-in-action\/the-science-of-storytelling\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">it connects<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. People pay attention. They understand. They remember. And they\u2019re more likely to care.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Storytelling helps <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/armh\/fulltext\/2021\/09020\/storytelling_in_medical_education,_clinical_care,.30.aspx\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">bridge the gap<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> between lab bench and real-world impact. It doesn&#8217;t mean oversimplifying or sacrificing rigor, rather <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/westernpacific\/newsroom\/feature-stories\/item\/the-power-of-storytelling-for-health-impact\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">structuring information<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in a way that connects. Studies have shown that people are significantly more likely to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK425719\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">retain information<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> when it\u2019s conveyed through narrative rather than data alone. And in a field where public trust, funding, and policy decisions can hinge on understanding, that matters. In short, storytelling isn&#8217;t fluff, it&#8217;s function. For biomedical researchers working on life-saving therapies, it\u2019s not just about what you discover, but how you help others see its value.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How biomedical researchers can use storytelling<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So how do you actually do it\u2014tell a story without losing the science? Let\u2019s look at how to use storytelling in your research communication, with clarity, purpose, and impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Shape the story according to your target audience<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Good storytelling isn\u2019t one-size-fits-all. Like with all kinds of communication, even in research, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/art-storytelling-data-communicating-findings-effectively\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">who you\u2019re speaking to<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and what you need from them should shape how you tell your story. Are you trying to raise awareness? Publish a paper? Attract funding? Influence policy? Each of those goals needs a different focus. Consider asking two simple questions: Who am I talking to? And What do I want them to understand or do? For instance, policymakers might care about cost savings and public impact while grant reviewers may want to see innovation and feasibility. The research is the same, what you highlight changes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Example: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your research is about improving diagnostics for rare diseases to policymakers, it can be framed as \u201cDelayed diagnosis costs the healthcare system millions each year \u2014 our tool could reduce that burden.\u201d While to the public it can be framed as \u201cRare disease patients often wait years for answers. We\u2019re working on a faster path to a diagnosis.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a02. Start with the \u201cwhy\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before jumping into the technical details of your method or findings, begin by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uaces.org\/resources\/articles\/storytelling-researchers-3-steps\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">framing the problem in a relatable way<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Consider what\u2019s at stake if this research doesn\u2019t move forward. Why should anyone care? Think of it like how marketeers may pitch products. Instead of opening with code or market analysis, they often start with a pain point like \u201cThis is the problem, here\u2019s how we\u2019re solving it.\u201d Research communication can also follow the same logic by framing your study as a response to a real, recognizable challenge or need.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Example: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of \u201cWe studied the antibacterial properties of a newly synthesized compound,\u201d try \u201cEvery year, millions of people get infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. We&#8217;re testing a new material that could help stop bacteria that resist even our strongest drugs.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a03. Use a compelling narrative arc<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A study isn\u2019t just about methods and results; it\u2019s a journey. And people understand journeys. Make sure you connect all the elements into a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/richardberks.co.uk\/blog\/finding-the-story-in-the-science\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">compelling arc<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. For instance, present your work as a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, making it easier for others to follow, relate to, and remember. Think of it like this: you start with what\u2019s known, ask a big question, take risks through your experiments, and return with new knowledge. It\u2019s a scientific version of the classic story template, \u201cThe Hero\u2019s Journey,\u201d and it works because we\u2019re wired to make sense of information this way.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Example: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of \u201cThis study evaluated the effect of different iron supplements on absorption rates,\u201d try<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/ijgo.14944\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Anemia<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> affects 36% of pregnant women worldwide, and around 40% of those cases are caused by iron deficiency. We tested three types of iron supplements to identify which one improved absorption most effectively and found one that clearly stood out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Humanize the science<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Research findings on their own often spark intellectual curiosity but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/richardberks.co.uk\/blog\/finding-the-story-in-the-science\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">can feel distant<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> from their lived experiences. While a data point might inform, an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/westernpacific\/newsroom\/feature-stories\/item\/the-power-of-storytelling-for-health-impact\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">emotional narrative<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can shift attitudes and even influence people to care about and act on information, especially when it highlights the human side of research. This means showing what\u2019s at stake for people. It allows people to not just understand the facts but feel their significance, making health information more memorable and impactful. When used ethically, even a brief patient story, a caregiver\u2019s quote, or a researcher\u2019s personal motivation can help make the stakes real, the challenge relatable, and the solution valuable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Example:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Instead of \u201cThis study measured the effectiveness of a mobile diabetes app for glycemic control,\u201d try \u201cManaging diabetes can be overwhelming\u2014constant tracking, meal planning, and stress. We tested a new app designed to ease that burden. One participant told us, \u2018For the first time, I felt like I wasn\u2019t doing it alone.\u2019 The data showed real improvement, and the feedback told us why.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fourwaves.com\/blog\/science-storytelling\/\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Journal of Science Communication<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> puts it<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, \u201cThe soul of science communication is about making people care.\u201d That\u2019s what good storytelling can do by making biomedical research more accessible and impactful. While a strong story can shine a light on your work, it should never distort it. Avoid exaggerating results, be transparent about limitations, and ground your story in what the data actually shows. When done well, storytelling isn\u2019t just about communicating but, in a way, also translating complex concepts to a broader audience to help them see the value in your work.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2012, when seven-year-old Emily Whitehead, who had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, was out of options after multiple rounds of chemotherapy failed, she and her family made the brave decision to try an experimental treatment: CAR-T cell therapy.
