We are all women studying English as well as disciplines in the STEM-C curriculum, including Biology, Math, Medicine, and Computer Science. This diverse study gives us many advantages. While studying English, we have developed skills such as writing, editing, analysis and communication, which are all applicable to our STEM-C fields. Through our STEM-C studies, we have learned unique ways to solve complex problems and gained skills in logical reasoning, which is applicable to the analysis of literature. We believe that the contemplation of ethics and morals through the study of humanities enables us to see the ethical standards in research in our respective STEM-C fields. Our liberal arts education has allowed us to develop a wide range of transferable skills. We would like to present how our English training has helped us excel in our respective STEM-C field of study and vice versa. We hope that we can impart the value of an interdisciplinary education that bridges both science and literary arts.
