The social visibility of scientists  and their research is important. Both in the context of knowledge dissemination and for their career development it is necessary to be able to tell a story about their research. Lately one way of presenting your story gets more and more attention in the scientific world: in form of a short video.
However, many scientists find it difficult to explain their research.  For example, they are too modest about their exciting results but at the same time explain every small detail. Due to the scroll and zap culture it is difficult and you lose the viewer’s attention very fast. Therefore, scientists need to learn to express themselves using a combination of images and sound to not just catch the attention but also keep it.
