About the authors
Dr. Stephanie Slater is a cognitive scientist specializing in how people of all ages and backgrounds engage in astronomy and space science. She is the Director of the CAPER Center for Astronomy & Physics Education Research and her research focuses on conceptual understanding as influenced by individual spatial reasoning abilities and cognitive load and how these aspects interact with individual’s attitudes toward science and society. After attending MIT as an undergraduate, Dr. Slater earned a M.S. in Science Education from Montana State University and her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona in Teaching, Learning and Sociocultural Studies. Her background uniquely qualifies her to study the intersection of society, science, and learning.
