A Linguist, a Physicist, and a Chemist Meet on Stage: Reflections on Christian Calling, Leadership, and Science Education

  • The Knight Center (map)

On May 30th, we welcomed our St. Louis community to a conversation between Catherine Crouch, Jen Heemstra, and Kristin Van Engen.

Catherine is Professor and Chair of Physics at Swarthmore College and a Newbigin Fellow; Jen is the Charles Allen Thomas Professor and Chair of Chemistry at Washington University; and Kristin is Associate Professor of Psychological & Brain Sciences and Linguistics at Washington University. Jen and Kristin are TCP faculty fellows. Kristin, Jen, and Catherine are leaders in their fields who thoughtfully integrate their faith with their calling as science educators, mentors, and researchers. Their panel covered topics such as how to pursue science as a Christian vocation, the importance of authentic mentorship and collaboration, and how Christian faculty can help restore wholeness to academia (and beyond).
