Update: I sent Vic back to my penpal with some new clothes and a "scrapbook" of adventures from his week of being a grad student. Feel free to print yourself a copy of this scrapbook zine! #LettersToAPreScientist #STEMpenpals #zine

Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC: "What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My 12 year old pen pal (with Letters to a Pre-scientist) sent me a handmade cardboard cut-out of Vic Fuentes, the lead singer of Pierce the Veil. For no reason, other than she loves them. This is why I love this program 😂 @vicfuentes.bsky.social
