I just learned about the COOLEST program! It's called "Letters to a Pre-Scientist" and if you sign up, you volunteer to be a pen pal to a kid and help them get excited for a career in a #STEM field! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for #ScienceMastodon to do some good in the world. The program is open to anyone in STEM over 18, all around the world.
