“The Next Frontier,” a new branded film series produced by BBC StoryWorks and presented by BIO, explores how biotechnology is shaping the future of health, climate, and food, but if public understanding and trust is low, how can it be supported? This panel, featuring leaders with diverse expertise across biotechnology and filmmaking, will delve into how powerful storytelling can turn complexity into clarity and breakthrough science into emotional connection. We’ll unpack the tools that help the public not just understand biotech but believe in its potential. If the future depends on science, it also depends on the stories we tell.
