Description

Kathryn interviews Social Marketing Consultant & Science Writer Robin Stevens Payes, author of the "Edge of Yesterday" series. Her books are designed to open the minds of middle-grade readers to the adventure of learning about STEM through storytelling. To help America promote more STEM graduates within this fast-growing industry, Payes is creating a curriculum that will present STEM through play, discovery, character, creativity and storytelling. Kathryn also interviews Editor, Curator & Author James Geary, author of the book "WIT'S END: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It". Wit is often thought of as simply being funny, but wit is more than just having a knack for snappy comebacks. It's the quick, instinctive intelligence that allows us to think, say, or do the right thing at the right time in the right place. Geary shows how wit is a state of mind as well as a sense of humor and why wit and wisdom are really the same thing.
