Things have been crazy as I finish up work at ASU, so I’ve been looking forward to this block of time I set aside to read my first #LettersToAPreScientist pen pal letter of the year! It’s always a thrill to see stickers that align with your interests (food) and to get some surprises 😍
Where are all my #LetterstoaPrescientist Penpals at!? First #snailmail arrived! Look at how beautiful my penpal’s handwriting is! Can’t wait to read their letter! ✉️ 📬🥳
It is that time of year again! LPS registration time! This is a great (and low time commitment) volunteer opportunity to engage 5th to 8th grade students and talk to them about STEM! All my students have been amazing 🤩 Register here: prescientist.org/register/ #LPS #letterstoaprescientist #outreach
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!

A handwritten letter that starts with “Dear Stella” covered with stickers. The stickers are mostly of cats. Another says, “Be positive, productive, patient, and persistent.” Another is the Letters to a Pre-Scientist logo. In the gaps between the stickers, you can see little bits of the letter. Phrases like “Georgia State University” and “I need to think about which college I want to go to” peek through.
There’s nothing like getting a letter (and adorable stickers) from my Letters to a Pre-Scientist pen pal! ✏️✉️
She’s going to be a pulmonologist one day! 🩺🥼🫁

Received my 3rd letter from my pre-scientist pen pal! She used a microscope for the first time in class, and shared concerns about plastic in the ocean. So great to see these young minds engaged! I can’t wait to write back📝🧠
