Science is Poetry with Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, Valerie Bang-Jensen and Mark Lubkowitz

It's been said that poetry and physics are the same thing, so on today's Heinemann Podcast we're examining the poetry of science. Language and literature can work in the same way science does. Both literature and science have stability and change. Both also have cause and effect. 

In their book; Sharing Books, Talking Science, this is what authors Valerie Bang-Jensen and Mark Lubkowitz call "crosscutting concepts". In today's conversation they're joined by author, Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, poet and author of Poems Are Teachers. They've come together to explore how different lenses can help us to better understand complicated concepts.

Our journey to this conversation is an interesting one. We start the podcast by learning how these author's ideas intersected.

Our thanks to Amy, Mark and Valerie for their time today.
