It’s where it all starts: we meet our project partners & learn about their science.
For us, kick-off meetings are key moments to create first footage & a deeper understanding about the research that we’ll be communicating.
We always leave inspired, ready to turn complex research into clear stories

Did you know wild chimpanzees naturally get a “tiny buzz” from fruit?🍌🍷
A new study shows their daily fruit diet can equal ~1.4 drinks. A clue to why humans like alcohol, especially when among others?

Natural history museums post on YouTube—but rarely about their science. 📹🦋
A study of 437 videos from 28 US museums shows research & collections are underused, missing a big chance for public engagement.

Together with camera operator Stefano Petti, our colleagues Ute and Mathis filmed Umbrian farmer & beekeeper Virginia Ruspolini, a living lab participant in the LEGUMINOSE project.
That meant suiting up for safety 🐝, sitting on the ground, & recording an interview with the bees all around.

Not every interview happens in a studio. Sometimes it’s a field in Umbria, bees buzzing, and a beekeeper’s story to tell.
That’s sci-comm in action — adapting on the spot.

Ditching animation for everyday objects. 🧪 We built a mini studio & visualised some processes behind algae-to-fuel @safproject.bsky.social with oil bottles (no boring charts!) & biogas bubbles (shout out to Fabian's lung power!). Check out the Behind-the-scenes pics! #SciComm
