The format
Research, but make it relatable
We believe research should be something people can enjoy, not just study. And sometimes the best way to share big ideas is with a little lightness, a bit of personality, and a spark of curiosity.
Research Unpacked is a live talk series that invites master’s students, PhD researchers, and postdoctoral scientists to step out of the library or the lab and into a space where research can be shared in a fresh, engaging, and playful way.
Each talk is around 10-15 minutes, which is long enough to go somewhere interesting, short enough to keep the conversation lively. Researchers pick from a set of guiding lenses to frame their talk, making it accessible, thoughtful, and fun without losing depth.
Talk lenses
- “Explain it in the simplest terms”
- “Why does it matter?”
- “A day in the life of a researcher”
- “What I actually work with”
- “Who I work alongside”
- “The future of my field”
- “Who inspired me”
- “A tour of my working environment”
- “Why should we care?”
- “What people usually get wrong about my field”
- “How this shows up in everyday life”
- “The biggest question we still can't answer”
- “What surprised me most when I started”
- “If you wanted to get into this, where would you start?”
