Did you take pictures of nature or wildlife last week? Submit them to @citnatchallenge this week to help put your city on the #citizenscience map!

In light of COVID-19, the 2020 @citnatchallenge is not a contest, but a collaborative survey event that aims to get people out engaging with local wildlife.

On our way to the @STEMecosystems convening in SATX!

The plane’s computers needed rebooting so a maintenance tech is working on it.

Aircraft maintenance technicians require an FAA certificate/2-year degree and have a starting salary around $50K.

Some #STEMed for your Monday!

I just met a little girl on the train and we were chit chatting until I said I am a scientist.

Her eyes lit up and she said she wants to be a scientist too when she grows up 🤩

Even though this story sounds too good to be true it did actually happen!!!
