There is a renewed interest amongst science communication practitioners and scholars to explore the potential of storytelling in public communication of science, including to understand how science storytelling functions (or could fail) in different contexts. Drawing from storytelling as the core theme of the 2018 conference of the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) Network, we present a selection of papers, essays and practice insights that offer diverse perspectives. Some contributions focus on the cultural and structural qualities of science stories and its key success factors, while others explore new formats, platforms and collaborators in science storytelling activities.

科学传播从业人员和学者之间重新产生了兴趣，以探索讲故事在科学公共传播中的潜力，包括了解科学讲故事在不同情况下如何发挥作用（或可能失败）。从讲故事作为2018年科学与技术公共传播（PCST）网络会议的核心主题汲取灵感，我们提供了精选的论文，论文和实践见解，它们提供了不同的观点。一些贡献着重于科学故事的文化和结构特征及其成功的关键因素，而另一些则探索了科学故事活动中的新形式，平台和合作者。抽象
