Writing and STEM: A Crucial Combination
April 10, 2017
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
-George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, agricultural scientist and inventor

From a recent ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) blog:

"When we think about what a scientist or a mathematician looks like, we rarely see a pen or pencil in hand composing a report or writing an essay. No, we think of the more glamorous side of conducting experiments and solving intricate mathematical situations.

"However, one must realize, writing is a tool to make thinking more lucid. Think about it: to be able to put words onto paper, one must extract information and then be able to portray its meaning clearly via words on a page. Carly Fiorina (former executive of Hewlett Packard) sums it up, 'The goal is to transform data into information and information into insight.' Can a scientist or mathematician be considered successful with his/her theories if he/she has solved a complex problem yet cannot elucidate and interpret the solution in words?"
