The scientific community has been under increasing pressure from policymakers and the public to explain how research contributes to the public good. The community has emphasized two distinct approaches to explaining its operations and value. The first is the use of narratives that can make the work of science more accessible and engaging to nonscientists. The other is the use of new data mining and analysis methods to document quantitatively the complex paths by which research progresses and eventually contributes to a variety of societal goals. While both of these approaches have proved useful, the goal of this workshop is to explore ways that they might be combined into a hybrid approach that will be even more effective. This workshop will assemble experts in the narrative and data-driven science communication approaches with leading science researchers to discuss how these various perspectives can be merged to define a template for a type of communication that encompasses the appeal of narrative, the rigor of new analytic data, and the understanding of how science works in practice

科学界一直受到来自政策制定者和公众的越来越大的压力，要求解释研究如何为公共利益做出贡献。社区强调了两种不同的方法来解释其操作和价值。第一个是使用叙事，可以使科学工作更容易接近和吸引非科学家。另一个是使用新的数据挖掘和分析方法，以定量记录研究进展的复杂路径，并最终有助于实现各种社会目标。虽然这两种方法都证明是有用的，但本研讨会的目标是探讨如何将它们结合成一种更有效的混合方法。本次研讨会将聚集叙事和数据驱动的科学传播方法的专家与领先的科学研究人员讨论如何将这些不同的观点融合起来，以定义一种传播类型的模板，包括叙事的吸引力，新分析数据的严谨性，以及对科学在实践中如何运作的理解
