Science Stories

Science Stories

Each month, G.E.M. Environmental interviews a STEM scholar, student, or community member and asks them questions like why they believe the STEM fields are important, how they got started in their field, to what they would do if they hit the jackpot. We hope that our new blog series will inspire, introduce a variety of fields, and create new conversations. View some of our recent Science Stories here.

Thank you for agreeing to participate. Please take a few moments to answer at least 5 of the below questions. Any questions or concerns can be directed to Marlena Willoughby at: marlena@gemenvironmental.org.
