Thanks to Professor Tai, who had the idea to develop the assignment and invited us to participate. Thanks also<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>to my colleague in Spanish, I\u00f1aki Pradanos, who introduced me to the idea of assigning fictional essays to think through real-world issues in our co-taught Urban Futures class last fall. Much gratitude to the terrific fiction writer and Miami MFA graduate Justin Chandler, who visited Heeyoung Tai\u2019s capstone and got chemistry students thinking like fiction writers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hey chemistry students: your stories are scary and fascinating! We look forward to more creative collaborations across disciplines in future.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Wagner, Creative Writing Program Director<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hurray for successful collaboration across disciplines!
