STEM, STEAM, STEAD with Kate Klemic, VT-ARC Director of S&T Engagements and Analysis Division

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Austin and Sam grill the Director of the STEAD division of VT-ARC, Kate Klemic. She talks to us about her path through academia to help build the vision for the company. We also debate the merits of putting the 'A' in STEM education, try to quantify what differentiates fantasy and sci-fi, and she tells us about what most excites her about new technological advances.
