Her research is interdisciplinary, integrating her background in molecular biology and educational psychology to create a synergistic program of study. In this talk, she will discuss a project that connects linguistic features and scientific epistemology. This project indicates that experts use more tentative or hedging language than novices when discussing their conclusions, and this use of language aligns with their overall inquiry profiles and pre-test assessment of epistemological beliefs about science.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nSTEM and linguistics: Modeling scientific epistemology using linguistic analysis &nbsp;
