	Nicholas Kristof’s Advice for Saving the World  –  The importance of the singular narrative.  Once you increase the size of a narrative from one person in need to two people in need, compassion drops in the audience. - https://www.outsideonline.com/1909636/nicholas-kristofs-advice-saving-world

13:20:08 From  Blane Bellerud  to  Everyone:
	So isn't a big part of it selecting which narrative is most important to the audience?  Plus do you employ nested narratives of narratives in series?
13:20:33 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Good question Blane.  If we have time for a Q&A today, you should ask it.
13:21:58 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The quick answers:  Yes, that's important.  Yes, nested narratives are encouraged.

	Coming in solid for me.
13:27:58 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Anne, if you keep having sound problems you can always call in on your phone.  Hit the drop down arrow next to mute and select "Switch to Phone Audio..." for instructions.

	‘Data-Driven’ Campaigns Are Killing the Democratic Party  – The article in which Dave Gold coined the term "Christmas Tree" when looking for an overarching problem.  It's okay to have several problems in your narrative, but you need to find the overarching Christmas Tree problem for your narrative that all the other problems can hang off of like ornaments. - https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/data-driven-campaigns-democrats-need-message-214759/

13:37:49 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The ABT Build portion of the class is our brainstorming discussion section.  Feel free to brainstorm notes for these ABTs and post them in chat.  Post them even if you're not sure!  Your note my spark an idea for someone else.
13:38:58 From  Aimee Fullerton  to  Everyone:
	Modernizing?

	Data management'
13:39:11 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Randy asks the question "what is this a story of" for about 99% of ABT Builds. If you'd like a head start, figure out your "story of" ahead of time.  Option exercise #1 on the Resource Page can help you:  http://abtframework.com/abt-framework-student-resource-page-round-35-noaa/#lesson_1
13:39:15 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Reacted to "Modernizing?" with 👍
13:39:23 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Aimee - I agree with you.
13:39:52 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	A story of:
	Point A - not being modernized

	Aimee - we won!
13:40:30 From  Eli Holmes - NOAA Fisheries  to  Everyone:
	Reacted to "Aimee - we won!" with 👏
13:42:23 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Set the stakes in the Blue section as to why modernizing is important.  What do we get out of it?  What's at stake?  Why is modernizing important?  Paint us a picture of how good things could be in the future if we modernize, and do so in the Blue.
13:43:26 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I know the Matt Template looks goofy, but trust me, it's super helpful.
13:45:34 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	For climate ABTs, paint us a picture in the Blue section of how good the world could possibly look if your plan to fix a part of this problem actually works!  How much could we benefit, how much better would the world look?  What would we get if your plan comes to pass?  Project out into the future and paint us a picture of Heaven if everything goes to plan.
13:49:53 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I think of it as:  BUT (broad Headline statement) BECAUSE (specific details)
13:50:52 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I know we're throwing a lot of new concepts at all of you, but don't worry - if you regularly attend the class, you'll be seeing this over and over again.  Through repetition, this will start to seem natural.

13:52:44 From  Kinsey Frick  to  Everyone:
	We don't all have PhD's at the science center.
13:54:40 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	When Randy asks "what this a story of?" he wants you to focus on the process that you're introducing to fix things.
13:55:34 From  Albertha Joseph Alexander  to  Everyone:
	A story of recapturing happiness
13:56:24 From  Albertha Joseph Alexander  to  Everyone:

14:00:06 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	What's standing in the way of your solution?
14:00:30 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	That's a key question that's really helpful to ask to help get to the bottom of your problem.
14:00:51 From  Andrianna Jutt  to  Everyone:
	I'd like to encourage everyone to look into what "smooth brained" actually means. Colloquially it's used to call someone stupid. Scientifically it refers to lissencephaly, which is real medical condition and disability. Neither of those uses seem appropriate for casual use toward anyone in the workplace, particularly in a "punching down" (PhD toward non-PhD) way.
14:00:59 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Blane - we'll be addressing your question from before in later sessions!
