Nersessian is referring to the "translational model of learning research" that she and Wendy Newstetter, a professor in Georgia Tech's Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, have designed together. In this Live Science exclusive interview, Nersessian continues, "Along with science and engineering faculty, we develop ways of translating these into instructional settings so as to promote learning."
