Description

In this segment, Dr. Stancel sketches the experiences that inspired him to pursue science and shaped his attitudes about education. After tracing his own educational track through chemistry, to biochemistry, to physiology, and to a first faculty appt in pharmacology he concludes: “If you get good training as a doctor of philosophy you are trained to think critically and that skill in experimental work transfers to a lot of different fields.” He reflects on how key critical thinking skills are to the contemporary researcher –a recurring theme in these sessions and a keystone in his philosophy of education.
