Earlier this year I joined fellow guest professors and guest scientists from Professors Without Borders and Lecturers Without Borders to discuss why and how STEM education needs to integrate more soft skills and with that, bring greater focus to issues of ethics and credibility. The conclusions from our discussion have been documented in a report, which is now available to read open access on the Thinktank Without Borders website and on Academia here.
