SciComm Summer #26: Lulu Miller on Leading with Story

August 11, 2025 • Andy Luttrell

Lulu Miller has done a lot of things and done them very well. She is currently the co-host of Radiolab and its family-friendly spinoff, Terrestrials. She also co-created Invisibilia with Alix Spiegel and wrote the beautiful book, Why Fish Don't Exist. In our conversation, I try to learn Lulu's secrets when it comes it sharing science across media. I've been a fan of her work for a long time, so it was great to get to talk with her!

(If you're here as a Radiolab fan, you should also check out my chat with Latif Nasser a couple of years ago.)

In the show, I mentioned a run of letterpress prints I did inspired by Lulu's book. You can get a print for yourself here and learn more about how they were made. Any sales feed back into the podcast.

You can find the rest of this summer's science communication podcast series here.
