Travelling tales?

Abstract

That narratives play a role in how scientific findings make their way into policy spaces is not perhaps surprising. Maybe less obvious is that sometimes it is the narratives that scientists themselves create in order to make sense of their own research work that carry their findings into policy domains. As a further twist, it may well be the ‘surprise factor’ within certain scientific narratives that makes those ones travel well, get circulated, and perhaps end up prompting policy changes.
