STEM without poetry is like life without metaphor: how scientists may improve their writing and understanding by reading literature. From the editorial:
It is within the lines of poetry that students can discover, celebrate and appreciate other cultures, dialects, ethnicities, world views and experiences. As science educators, we have integrated literature and poetry into scientific training. Students read poems in research seminars, discuss the poems and attempt to connect them to their research. We have created poetry reading series that focus on an audience of scientists.
