EMBL's very first Communications Officer, David States reflects on the important project he undertook in 1994 of documenting EMBL's history for its 20th anniversary. David also speaks on the significance of clear and persuasive communication in science, emphasising the need for scientists to convey their ideas to non-experts. He reflects on EMBL's impact, importance of basic science, and personalising science for the general public.

The interview was conducted with Angus Lamond (EMBL Group Leader, 1987-1995) and was recorded in March 2024.
