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

科学界一直面临政策制定者和公众的压力，以解释研究如何对公共利益做出贡献。社区强调了解释其运营和价值的两种不同的方法。首先是使用叙事，可以使科学的工作更加易于访问和吸引非认识主义者。另一个是使用新的数据挖掘和分析方法来定量地记录研究进展的复杂路径，并最终促进了各种社会目标。尽管这两种方法都被证明是有用的，但该研讨会的目的是探索它们可以将它们合并为混合方法的方法，这种方法将更加有效。该研讨会将与领先的科学研究人员一起在叙事和数据驱动的科学沟通方法上组装专家
