Podcast #62: Reinventing Science Labs with Natasha Holmes
Our guest is Natasha Holmes, an Assistant Professor in the Cornell Physics Department who specializes in physics education research. For the last several years, Natasha has been figuring out ways to increase the amount students learn in science labs. While some students find traditional lab courses to be transformative experiences, many more find them to be mindless recipe following exercises. In this episode, Natasha shares her vision for science labs that get students thinking critically, carefully, and creatively. We also talk about the value of doing educational research in our disciplines.
