A Problem with STEM

We have been missing a few updates on the blog, so the next several posts will get us back up to speed.

Abstract Excerpt:
"Striking differences between physics and biology have important implications for interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. I am a physicist
with interdisciplinary connections. The research group in which I work, the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics at the University of Texas at Austin, is converting into the physics
department home for biological physics. Many of my collaborations have been with faculty in engineering. For the past 15 years, I have been codirector of the program at the University
of Texas at Austin that prepares secondary science and mathematics teachers (UTeach, 2012). The future teachers take a course on scientific research I developed and deliver together
with colleagues from biology, astronomy, chemistry, and biochemistry (Marder, 2011). This background naturally makes me an enthusiastic advocate of interdisciplinary education
at the secondary and undergraduate levels..."
