As Vice President of Research at Missouri State University, Dr. Jim Baker is responsible for a team that supports the scholarly activities of a large group of faculty, staff and students.  He stops by STEM Spots to talk with Dr. David Cornelison about the goals and challenges of the research endeavor at MSU.

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.
