www.si.edu

This week on STEM Spots, Dr. Dave Cornelison ponders on the questions regarding time. What is it? Can it be defined?  Why does it seem as though time goes slowly while waiting at the car dealership? Listen in to find out the exact measurement of a second and a brief history of time.

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.
