Engaging with Health and Safety Expert, Jonathan Klane

In this episode… Our guest, Jonathan Klane, is the Senior Safety Editor for Lab Manager Magazine, where he writes about risk, persuasion, story science, and more. He is an experienced expert witness and a Ph.D. candidate in Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology at Arizona State University. According to Mr. Klane, humans have evolved to best understand and internalize data in the context of stories. Through this inane connection, expert witnesses can use storytelling to express their opinions to judges and juries more persuasively. Check out the whole episode for our discussion on effective communication, including metaphors, anecdotes, and the role of levity in court.
