STEM Spots: If The World Were Perfect, Would Everyone Be Einstein?

NASA/W. Stenzel

In this episode of STEM Spots, Dr. David Cornelison ponders on whether humans derive their worth from who they are being, or what they are doing.  You can listen to the episode 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.
