In this special Collaboratory Conversations episode, Herodotos Ellinas and Michael T. Braun share two conversations. First we talk with collaboratory member Anna Cianciolo about her project (with principal investigator Debra Klamen at Southern Illinois University) "the Data Science of Character." After that, we talk with Dave Hatem and his collaboratory focused on learning communities and their role in professional identity formation among undergraduate medical students. We check in with them to learn about their projects, progress and findings so far, and what's next as they continue their second funded year.
