Chernobyl: Communicating Science

 

My favorite aspect of the Chernobyl series is that it explains all these scientific complex situations in language that a layman can understand. The series flawlessly intertwines these scientific explanations like how a nuclear plant works into the movie without taking away from the plot. Specifically, I think that the series uses great analogies like comparing the radiation to a bullet. These analogies allow the audience to focus on the impact of science. I often struggle with explaining scientific concepts to others, so I really admire how the scriptwriters planned every sentence so that people with different background knowledge can understand what’s happening.
