How much do stories about science matter? Quite a lot, according to Dr. Dax Ovid of the Scientist Spotlight Initiative, which provides Story Collider stories and other biographical stories about scientists for use in middle school, high school, and college classrooms. In this special bonus episode, Dax and Erin Barker discuss their research into the impacts of these stories on students, and how stories help break down stereotypes about who can be a scientist.
