The Story Collider was founded in 2010 by two physicists who met at a storytelling show in Queens and quickly realized that they could do that too. Since then, The Story Collider has been bringing true, personal stories about science to life both through our many live shows as well as our weekly podcast, and we've used what we've learned about science and stories to teach scientists to use narrati
ve in our university and corporate workshop program. At The Story Collider, you'll hear from scientists about all the times things went wrong, and occasionally right, in their labs, but you'll also hear from people who haven't had a formal connection to science since high school. We have physicists, comedians, neuroscientists, writers, actors, doctors, and many, many more telling their story. They're all true, and all, in one way or another, are about science. The storytellers in our shows and on our podcasts are being incredibly vulnerable when they share their stories with us, and because of that, we ask that listeners keep their comments respectful and listen to the story in full before commenting. While it's okay to disagree, any comments that are disrespectful will be deleted.
