The P flow diagram is a key aspect of STEPS convergence research, because it functions as a “boundary object” to connect researchers from many different fields. In this episode, we give a brief overview of what flow diagrams are, and then we talk to some of the researchers in STEPS about how they use the P flow diagram and what they like (and don’t like!) about it. We also hear from several students from the STEPS Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, about how they used the P flow diagram in their summer research.

Hosted by Ashton Merck; featuring Christine Hendren, Paul Westerhoff, Bruce Rittmann, Treavor Boyer, Anna Marshall, Olga Borquez, Jay Rickabaugh, Julianna Nieuwsma, Adrian Zenteno, Sarah Roza, and Alex Shaw.
