About the Ampersand

Literary studies and STEM are thought of as two different star systems, when in fact they are not only complementary but intertwined.

FIU’s Science & Fiction Lab aspires to unify the cosmic view, and become the univers[e/ity]'s nexus for Literary STEM pedagogical innovation. The tools the Lab uses to lure the stars into perceptual alignment are {1} science fiction and {2} fiction-science. Tap the Babel Fish to learn how the Lab’s programming benefits any and all students.

Our initiatives have been supported by FIU’s Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab, Center for the Advancement of Teaching, Office of Micro-Credentials, and Honors College, as well as by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
