The scientific process has the same structure as a story. The process begins when a scientist finds a problem with existing knowledge. She forms a new hypothesis, generates data, and finally interprets the data and draws conclusions. This process matches the way stories have been told since time immemorial. A character is introduced in the context of the world as it exists (the current state of knowledge). Something happens (conflicting data) that causes them to question that world and changes their goals (the new hypothesis). They set out on an adventure (data collection, testing the hypothesis) with occasional setbacks (problems, unexpected results). Eventually they reach their goal (results) with new knowledge for the world (conclusions and significance). A new synthesis is reached. Existing knowledge is changed. The process begins again. It is a classic story played out in experiments and published in scientific journals.","PeriodicalId":300046,"journal":{"name":"Presenting science concisely","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132471002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow of the five-act structure moves from the current state of knowledge, through conflicting evidence, the formation of a hypothesis, to data collection and conclusions. The outline of the structure looks like this: Act 1: current state of knowledge; Act 2: conflicting evidence; new hypothesis; Act 3: first presentation of results; Act 4: problems and their solution; and Act 5: conclusions. To make this form more interesting, it can introduce at least one BUT in each of Acts 3 and 4. Act 2 already has a BUT in the form of conflicting evidence. To hold the audience's interest it is best to introduce this same tension into the other acts. Without it the acts can easily become a list of facts (ANDs). Each BUT serves to wake up the audience. The BUTs tell them that something important is about to happen. The revised structure looks like this: Act 1: current state of knowledge; Act 2: conflicting evidence (BUT), new hypothesis; Act 3: results, BUT, results; Act 4: BUT, results, BUT results; and Act 5: conclusions.","PeriodicalId":300046,"journal":{"name":"Presenting science concisely","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114941614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Every scientific paper has these parts: introduction, methods, results, and discussion. The discussion normally includes your overall conclusions and the importance of the work. In studies with practical applications, the discussion includes the implications for society. For use in a 3MT, it can combine the sections in this way: (i) introduction; (ii) methods and results; and (iii) discussion (including the implications for society). This leaves you with three main sections, corresponding to the 3 minutes of the presentation.","PeriodicalId":300046,"journal":{"name":"Presenting science concisely","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123685572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
