My go-to keyword for this would be storytelling in science communication, through which I found the following:
Using narratives and storytelling to communicate science with nonexpert audiences (2014)
Storytelling: the soul of science communication (2019)
The Role of Narrative in Communicating Science (2009)
For more decision-maker-oriented literature:
Storytelling and evidence-based policy: lessons from the grey literature (2017)
(Blog) Storytelling for Policy Change: promise and problems (2016)

Thanks, that’s brilliant, and gave me several new ideas on keywords to look for.
