In this article Dr. Stokes explores the need to integrate STEM fields with the Liberal Arts, and addresses the current crisis in Physics.

Ep 9 - How to Speak Latin, with Tim Griffith and Reuben Jansen

In this episode, Daniel Foucachon sits down with Tim Griffith (the creator of Picta Dicta) and Reuben Jansen (the author of Picta Dicta Latin Primer) to discuss the art of learning Latin the right way, which means speaking and using Latin.

Reuben tells us the story of how Latin Primer came about, and we discuss what speaking and using Latin as a living language looks like, as well as why it is worth while pursuing. Come listen to some Latin (don't worry, we'll teach you - even in this podcast!).
