Within the context of higher education, the disciplines of science and filmmaking appear disparate, but the importance of storytelling as an integral part of science and research deserves closer examination. Humans have always used stories to share information and convey complex ideas. To those outside science, science communications can be laden with difficult terms and feel exclusive and unrelatable. There has been a recent call to develop science storytelling skills to improve accessibility of science for a general audience. With the rise of video content on social media platforms, short-format videos can reach an untapped audience for science. This case study looks at a unique interdisciplinary course, Science Docs, that encourages students from all areas of study to form a Community of Practice (CoP) that bridges the gap between scientist, storyteller, and science communication evaluator.
