    Spacewalks and Hypotheses- Personal Stories with Story Collider!

    This Spring, UVA welcomed the Story Collider team back to Charlottesville for the third year running. During a special recording at Carr's Hill, four UVA STEM leaders told personal stories about their lives, their careers, and how personal stories and scientific inquiry intertwine. We hope you'll head over to Story Collider to hear from Scott Acton, Chair of UVA's Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and Stephanie Rowley, Dean of the School of Education and Human Development; and Hoos in STEM is very excited to share the other two stories from some the event. Here's Bill Petri, the Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Health at UVA, and Kathryn Thornton a retired astronaut and Professor Emerita at UVA in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Story Collider's mission is to reveal the vibrant role that science plays in all of our lives through the art of personal storytelling.

    Sally Pusede Brings Satellite Data Down to Earth

    We are lucky to be joined by yet another one of UVA’s own 2025 PECASE recipients, Sally Pusede, an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Environmental Sciences. Although she has been officially honored for advancing the analysis of satellite remote sensing data for the resolution of neighborhood-level pollution across the country, we also discussed her work with political scientist Kim Fields, as co-directors of the Repair Lab, to combat environmental justice issues in local VA communities and ultimately leverage STEM for high social impact.
