  1. The lecture frames scientific communication as storytelling (narrative arc, CCC structure, etc.). To what extent is “telling a story” compatible with objective data analysis? How can narrative structure bias interpretation, even unintentionally?

  2. You are encouraged to anticipate critiques and acknowledge limitations. Is there ever a strategic downside to being too transparent about limitations? How might different audiences (academics vs. industry stakeholders) respond differently to this?
