Science holds the answers to big questions, but what if the way we communicate it is getting in the way? In this episode of the ScienceForWork podcast, our host Dr. Matt Lampe, talks with Dr. Mike Morrison, who shares how a single design idea—Better Posters—sparked a movement to rethink scientific communication.

The conversation explores the power of emotional connection in making research more engaging, the surprising challenges scientists face in sharing knowledge, and how grassroots change can break down outdated barriers. Mike and Matt also talk about overcoming inner critics, the psychology behind visual communication, and why finding just one co-conspirator can make all the difference in driving real change.

If you’ve ever struggled to communicate ideas effectively—or want to rethink how knowledge is shared—this episode is for you.
