Communicating science with clarity and impact

We help science organisations and programs transform complex knowledge into stories that people understand and trust.

Understanding science communication

Science is at the heart of solving society’s biggest challenges - but scientific knowledge only creates impact when it’s understood, trusted, and acted upon. Redboat Ventures has worked with leading research institutes, government agencies, and science organisations for over 20 years, helping them communicate discoveries, policies, and programs with clarity and authority.

Whether it’s helping the public understand climate change, supporting researchers to share their findings, or equipping organisations to train their people, Redboat helps science speak in ways that make a difference.

Key challenges we help solve

  • Complexity vs clarity: advanced science can overwhelm non-expert audiences.

  • Public trust: misinformation and low science literacy demand careful, accurate communication.

  • Policy relevance: research needs to be framed for decision-makers, not just specialists.

  • Engagement: finding the right formats and stories to reach diverse audiences.

  • Speed of change: emerging issues (AI, climate, health, cybersecurity) need rapid response with clarity.

How we help

  • We align content with organisational goals, ensuring your science informs, engages, and influences.

  • From molecular biology to planetary systems, we translate complexity into animation that connects.

  • We equip scientists, communicators, and leaders with skills to engage stakeholders effectively.

  • We use AI tools to accelerate production, streamline approvals, and explore new creative possibilities - without compromising scientific integrity.

  • From research launch to policy adoption and community engagement, we work across the full lifecycle to maximise impact.
