It is with great pleasure we launch Episode 5 of theConfluence Interview series. Confluence: Where life and science meet (http://qbic.fiu.edu/confluence), is an interview series where scientists from around the country discuss the intersection of their technical work and their life experiences that led to their professional choices. The interview is filmed in front of a student-only audience, and is part of the QBIC (Quantifying Biology In the Classroom; http://qbic.fiu.edu/confluence)Program's approach to addressing student misconceptions with respect to identity, career choice, and scientific research in general. The interview series can be used in science classrooms as a prime for student reflection pieces etc.
This episode features Dr. Mireya Mayor from National Geographic being interviewed by Dr. Adam Rosenblatt. Bryan Dewsbury PhD candidate Florida International University Miami, Fl 305 348 1556
