ssec.si.edu

This week on STEM Spots Dr. Cornelison recounts an experience he had in the last week. During the past week Dr. Cornelison spoke at a local high school regarding physics and other sciences. At the end there was a question and answer segment. One student asked, "Is being a professor stressful?" Listen in to hear Dr. Cornelison give the answer to that question.

Dr. David Cornelison has been working as an educator and scientist in Arizona and Missouri universities for the last 32 years. From 2010-2018, he was the head of the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science at Missouri State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental condensed-matter physics and astrophysics, while his educational efforts have focused on outreach to the K-12 school system. Most of all, he believes in curiosity-driven learning in the sciences and all other fields.
