In December I had the opportunity to travel back to Germany to spend a week collaborating with colleagues Dr. Jan C. Schubert, Professor for Geographical and Geoscience Education at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and Dr. Kim Lange-Schubert, Professor of Elementary STEM Education at the University of Leipzig.  It was wonderful to spend time working with both of their research teams, as well as to attend Dr. Lange-Schubert’s inaugural address at the University of Leipzig.  I look forward to continued collaboration and ongoing productive endeavors with these amazing scholars and science educators.
