In today's episode of STEM Spots, Dr. Cornelison converses with Dr. Judith Martinez, an assistant professor in the Modern and Classical Languages Department at Missouri State University. She has a background in literature and is also currently working on a grant called CODERS with the goal to put coding, STEM and literacy into schools. She explains that, although areas like coding and literature are different, they often intersect and have a lot more in common than one might think. Hear more about this intersection in the segment below.

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.
