NCSCA and World Renowned Scientist Set Out to Find Conclusive Evidence on the Chemtrail Mystery

PATCHOGUE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Potentially the most difficult environmental test in history is about to take place. Two volunteer environmentalists from the National Crime Scene Cleanup Association (NCSCA) are setting out to find conclusive evidence about the existence of "chemtrails." Award Winning Director/Producer Michael J. Murphy will be documenting this incredible feat, under the watch of world-renowned scientist Dr. J. Marvin Herndon.

Chemtrails, or otherwise known as "Geo-Engineering," is a phenomenon that occurs globally. Jets flying at high altitudes often leave behind vapor trails, known as contrails. Chemtrails differ in that they do not dissipate in a short time. Many people believe that this is due to chemicals being sprayed into the atmosphere to manipulate climate change or alter weather patterns.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be granting waivers to allow two pilots to surpass the current Guinness altitude record in a powered paragliding aircraft of 24,898 feet. With state-of-the-art air monitoring equipment, the two pilots will be flying into the chemtrails at around 30,000 feet above sea level, battling winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and temperatures around -70 degrees Fahrenheit. The two pilots will be collecting air samples and data never before seen.

"To be a part of such an epic environmental study, all while breaking Guinness world records for both speed and height in a powered paraglider, is incredible," says pilot Enzo Pagani.

Dr. J. Marvin Herndon, who will be submitting his report for peer review, will monitor all tests. Michael J. Murphy, whose previous work includes the award winning film "WHY in the World are they Spraying?" will be filming and documenting this process along the way. The team plans on preforming the task sometime in the spring of 2016.

Stemtree Education Center Grand Opening: Basic Science Comes to Life in the Heart of Vienna, VA

VIENNA, Va., Sept. 8, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Stemtree Education Center will celebrate its official grand opening on Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 220 Maple Ave West, beginning at 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Stemtree takes a unique approach to providing students in grades K-12 with one-on-one instruction in science, technology, and engineering. The community is invited to see our facility first-hand and to learn how Stemtree differs from traditional STEM centers.

Stemtree is the first after-school center in the area to offer STEM-focused enrichment through hands-on projects and experiments which we have aptly named "workouts." Students enjoy learning outside of a traditional classroom setting through a highly structured, yet highly customizable curriculum. Flexible scheduling and individual attention ensure students can progress at their own pace.

Stemtree is the brainchild of founder Dr. Abdelghani "Bell" Bellaachia, affectionately known as Dr. Bell. "I created Stemtree to give students the edge they need to succeed in school, career, and beyond," notes Dr. Bell. "But we can't reach them with more lectures and lessons, especially after a full day of school. That's why you will not find a traditional classroom here. Instead, we ignite the kids' passion for learning by engaging them in fun, hands-on activities. We bring basic science to life through workouts in science, technology, and engineering."

Stemtree Education Center first opened its doors in October, 2014. During the week, after school programs are offered at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, with optional pick up at local elementary schools. Students enjoy snack time, play time, and workouts in science, engineering and technology, plus support for homework and test preparation as needed. A home school program is available weekdays. Summer camp keeps kids busy and engaged each year from June - August. Fun, science-related birthday parties can be hosted on request.

Energy Optimizers, USA, sponsors Oak Hills Local Schools AEGIS team

TIPP CITY, Ohio, July 16, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In June, a team of four Oak Hills Local Schools students, sponsored by Energy Optimizers, USA, participated in a hands-on bicycle building exercise at Otterbein College in Westerville - but this was no ordinary bike. The four middle school girls were participants in the AEGIS 2015 Energy Program, and their bicycle transforms riders' energy into light, heat and sound.

AEGIS stands for Activating and Energizing Girls in Science, and the Energy Program is designed to illuminate STEM career paths for girls in middle school. Over the course of three days, the girls transformed components, gears and wires into a fully functioning Ohio Energy Project Energy Bike. The bike demonstrates for riders how much effort it takes to turn energy into power. It also allows riders to see in real time how much more energy it takes to light up an incandescent lightbulb compared to more energy efficient LED and CFL lightbulbs.

As the team members built and wired the bikes, they gained valuable engineering experience. They also earned the designation of "Energy Bike Experts." Once school starts in the fall, they will train other students and teachers how to use the bikes, offer classroom programs and participate in outreach events to help promote conservation.

The team was sponsored by Energy Optimizers, USA, an energy management firm based in Tipp City, Ohio, which has partnered with Oak Hills Local Schools to improve the district's energy efficiency by upgrading the lighting and building controls and the installation of a solar thermal system for the Oak Hills High School swimming pool. The $4 million project is expected to reduce the district's utility costs by an estimated $373,835 annually.

As part of the project, Energy Optimizers, USA, sponsored a Green Team for the district to educate students about energy management concepts and careers in STEM fields. In addition to funding the team for two years, Energy Optimizers, USA, provides Ohio Energy Project academic materials that are aligned to Ohio's academic content standards.

"Education is a foundational component of every project we take on," said Energy Optimizers, USA, President and Founder Greg Smith. "We sponsor Green Teams for all of our school district partners because we feel so strongly about not only about energy conservation, but also about preparing our next generation of engineers and scientists. We were honored to assist this group of exceptional students with pursuing their interests in engineering, green energy and conservation education."

Problems with Big Bang Cosmology

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, June 30, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to the Pantheory Research Organization in their recent research study, entitled "Observations that Seem to Contradict the Big Bang Model...," they summarized problems associated with many present and past distant galaxy observations that seem to contradict the Big Bang model (BB).

Many or most of these observations were made using the Hubble Space Telescope as well as very long baseline radio telescopes, needed to observe the great distances involved.

This summary of perceived problems lists most of the well-known problems with the Big Bang model, along with some lesser known problems that also could seriously undermine the model. An example of a lesser known BB problem concerns an important observational study and modeling attempt concerning gravity.

The related paper concluded that: "we do not seem to have the correct theory of gravity." This statement involves Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity as they relate to the Big Bang model, the dark matter hypothesis, and the contradictory observations amassed for the related study.

The Big Bang Theory problems discussed in great detail within this paper are:

The Horizon Problem, The Flatness Problem, The Density Problem, the Universe structure Formation Problem, The Anachronistic Galaxy Problem, The Anachronistic Black Hole Problem, The Metallicity Problem, The Gravity Problem, The Distance-Brightness Problem. Problems with mainstream hypothesis are also discussed in detail, specifically dark matter, dark energy, and the Inflation hypothesis.

This paper asserts that the listed Big Bang problems are more easily explained, or do not exist at all with the proposed alternative cosmology called the Pan Theory, which can be found on any search engine. Most of these BB problems also do not exist with most steady state models.

Even more distant observations than those in this study, to the supposed edge of the Big Bang universe in time, are expected to be observable with the new James Webb space telescope when it goes up and becomes fully functional, maybe by 2019.

If they find at that time, as expected, nothing but bright blue, young appearing galaxies, then all cosmologies proposing a much older or infinite aged universe will be in serious jeopardy of being disproved. On the other hand, if they find at the farthest distances any very large, red, or old appearing galaxies like those summarized in this paper, then the Big Bang model would likewise be in serious jeopardy of being disproved, which is expected by the authors based upon the general conclusions of the study.

The summary Conclusion of the paper is that the Big Bang model is probably the wrong model of cosmology, for reasons concerning the above and related problems, as explained within the paper.

New Book Profiles Pioneering Users of Neurotech Therapies

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Neurotech Press announces the publication of a new book that profiles some of the unsung heroes of medical technologies: the brave people who were among the first to use a new or experimental therapy or device. "Bionic Pioneers: Brave Neurotech Users Blaze the Trail to New Therapies" (ISBN: 978-0-9882342-2-2), by Jennifer French and James Cavuoto, tells the stories of 10 courageous individuals with neurological disabilities who made the decision to participate in a clinical trial or become a recipient of a newly approved neurotech device to treat their conditions.

These pioneering users not only improved their own quality of life-they helped advance the pace of technological progress that will undoubtedly make life even better for other people suffering from the same condition in the future.

In each chapter, we learn the often painful details of how a neurological disorder has impacted someone's life. We also gain insight into how each person came to accept a novel or experimental neurotech therapy and we learn how these marvels of engineering achieve their effect.

Among the users profiled in the book are a blind woman who receives one of the first retinal prostheses, a man who used a new rehabilitation device to restore hand and arm function after a stroke, and a new mother who discovers a new neurostimulation therapy to treat her fecal incontinence.

The book is one of the few health and medicine titles that pays tribute to the users who literally put life and limb on the line to help develop new neurotech therapies. "We think it's time that end-users got some recognition for the contributions they've made to medical science," said James Cavuoto, co-author and editor at Neurotech Press.

"Bionic Pioneers" is published by Neurotech Press and is available in print and e-book formats.

Signs of ‘Connected Consciousness’ Detected on Global Scale

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J., Sept. 29, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Our individual minds, though distinct and uniquely ours, may also join with others in a kind of mental symphony that now and then becomes audible against a prevailing background of static. That's a research conclusion appearing today on the World Future Society's website. Reported by futurist Richard Samson, Director of EraNova Institute, the conclusion is based on 16 years of analysis by the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), based in Princeton, New Jersey.

The research project, led by cognitive psychologist Roger Nelson, began at Princeton University in 1998 and continues as an international consortium with logistical support from the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell.

After monitoring more than 480 world events, the article reports, GCP researchers have accumulated strong evidence of some kind of transpersonal mentality that seems to emerge when many people share a common concern or experience. At such times, a global network of devices employing quantum tunneling has found weak but definite signs of coherence arising out of background "noise" or randomness.

Although the evidence has been known by specialists for years, it has grown so strong it now warrants public attention, Samson asserts. "And it comes at a time when the materialistic assumptions of traditional science, particularly physics, are being challenged."

The measured effect, though faint and fickle, is statistically significant to an extremely high degree, according to Nelson and his fellow researchers. It shows up during times of crisis or celebration, such as an earthquake or New Year's Eve, when millions of people focus on the same thing at the same time.

Although far from final, the research suggests that our minds may not be bounded by our heads but somehow extend out into the world and commingle, at least at times. "What we can interpret from our experiments is that we really are interconnected," says Nelson. "Human beings are simply not isolated islands of consciousness."

The report, "Signs of 'Connected Consciousness' Detected on Global Scale," is available now on Samson's World Future Society "Futurist" blog: http://www.wfs.org/blogs/richard-samson/ .

Nelson laid the groundwork for the Global Consciousness Project at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory at Princeton University, established by physicist Robert Jahn. GCP co-developers include Greg Nelson, John Walker, Dean Radin, Paul Bethke, Richard Adams, Peter Bancel, and Rick Berger.

New Discovery Opens the Door to Possible Cure for Heart Disease

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., July 21, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D., today announced new findings that unravel mysteries about the root cause of atherosclerosis - the narrowing of blood vessels that leads to heart attack and stroke. It is a big step toward developing drugs, possibly in the very near future, that prevent the most common forms of heart disease.

Larry Weisenthal, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician and researcher. He has discovered a previously unknown biological mechanism that accounts for vascular calcification - hardening of the arteries. Dr. Weisenthal has named the new mechanism MCED (pronounced EM-sed). It stands for Massively Calcified Endosome Death. By targeting MCED with new drugs, he feels it should be possible to stop vascular calcification from occurring, even among individuals with high cholesterol.

"Cholesterol levels probably won't matter," says Dr. Weisenthal, "at the end of the day the most important cause of arterial blockage may be the presence or absence of circulating MCED factors."

According to the report, Dr. Weisenthal has discovered that, under some circumstances, artery-forming cells, called endothelial cells, die in a special way that involves release of highly calcified micro-particles. These escape from dying endothelial cells and trigger the body's normal immune response. This causes inflammation within the blood vessel and narrows the opening through which blood flows.

Scientists understand that arteries do not literally become clogged with fat, like sludge in an old sewer pipe. Instead, the wall of the artery undergoes an apparent thickening as part of an inflammatory process. But what causes the inflammation to occur? That is exactly the mystery Dr. Weisenthal has unraveled. He contends that MCED is the cause of arterial inflammation.

Until now, no theory fully explained the perplexing mysteries of heart disease. Why do some people who eat all the "wrong" foods live long, healthy lives while other people whose diets appear ideal have heart problems? Why do some people with sky-high cholesterol counts have squeaky-clean arteries while other people, with "good" cholesterol levels, suffer narrowing of the arteries, heart attack, and stroke? Clearly, cholesterol seems to be a factor but, just as clearly, it is not the most important factor.

According to Dr. Weisenthal, MCED explains everything.

Dr. Weisenthal's laboratory experiments have shown that certain chemicals such as cholesterol can indeed cause MCED to occur - but not in everyone. Dr. Weisenthal has shown that blood drawn from different persons varies widely in the ability to prevent MCED from occurring. He says this probably is due to substances - called factors - that are contained in the blood.

Dr. Weisenthal believes it will be possible to isolate MCED-inhibiting factors in the blood and then develop drugs that mimic them. Conceivably, persons at risk for atherosclerosis could be identified through a simple blood test. Such persons would then receive a daily pill to inhibit MCED and prevent the narrowing of arteries.

"That's the importance of this work," says Dr. Weisenthal, "It answers the most important questions relating to the genesis of atherosclerosis and identifies the target for specific drugs to prevent and treat it."

Importantly, only endothelial cells are subject to this particular form of cell death. No other cell Dr. Weisenthal has tested can be made to die in exactly this way. This is additional, strong support for his theory.

The report is available online at http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/07/15/007112 .

The discovery itself and the story behind it are featured at this web address: http://vasocell.com/ .

A New Research Study Has Concluded that Dark Energy Probably Does Not Exist

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, March 7, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- According to the Pantheory Research Organization, a new study of type 1a supernova data has concluded, for the first time, that dark energy probably does not exist. The paper is entitled "An Alternative Universe-Scale Analytic Metrology and Related Cosmological Model." The paper was published in the February 2014 issue of the journal of Applied Physics Research, by the Canadian Center of Science and Education.

This new research study involves "an analysis of type 1a supernovae data with newly proposed distance and brightness equations which, if valid, would eliminate the need for changing expansion rates of the universe vis-a-vis dark energy." This conclusion was based upon researchers comparing Big Bang related Hubble formula distance calculations with alternative-cosmology derived distance and brightness equations and related calculations, concerning a present-day study of type 1a supernova observations.

The subject paper used the same type 1a supernovae data as the original studies and papers that proposed the accelerated expansion of the universe, but this and other present-day studies now include much more data since the quantity of international observations of type 1a supernovae has multiplied greatly since then. At the time of the original studies in the 1990's that proposed the accelerated expansion of the universe, there were at least two unstated assumptions being made.

The first well-accepted assumption then and now was that space is expanding, and the second assumption was that the Hubble Formula calculates distances correctly based upon a constant expansion rate of the universe. The Hubble Distance Formula was derived from the Special Theory of Relativity based upon an expanding universe. The authors of this paper say that if either or both of these assumptions were wrong, then dark energy could be an invalid hypothesis even though the Nobel Prize was granted for its discovery.

The non-standard cosmology used as the basis for deriving the alternative equations and calculations used for comparison in the study is called the "Pan Theory."

"Major conclusions of the study were that the observable universe is probably not expanding also precluding its accelerated expansion (dark energy), and that the Hubble Distance Formula is wrong and needs to be replaced," say the authors Forrest W. Noble and Timothy M. Cooper.

U.S. Inventor Announces New Patent for Wind Turbine Industry

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 4, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Kamen George Kamenov, a U.S. inventor, today announced that he has patented a new way to support windmill blades and to triple the amount of energy extracted from the wind. Patent #8629570 has been assigned to these wind turbine blades with reinforcing, supporting and stabilizing components and enlarged swept area.

"This more efficient and effective way to harness wind power could seriously change the face of the alternative energy industry," Kamenov says.

And, with dwindling conventional energy sources for electricity production, wind power is on the rise. Natural energy forms, when properly managed, are inexhaustible.

It should also be noted that according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wind capacity will increase by 8.8 percent to about 66 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2014 and will increase 14.6 percent to total more than 75 GW at the end of 2015.

So, this new invention for wind turbines is not only timely, but also well positioned for growth.

How do wind turbines work? Wind turbines convert the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical power through the use of a rotor with blades that spin a shaft.

The shaft is connected to a generator that converts the mechanical power into electricity. The swept area is the total area inside the imaginary circle, which the blades make when they turn under the wind pressure. The larger the swept area, the more wind energy is captured. However, if you double the length of the blades, the swept area increases four times.

"That is the secret of this invention - increasing the length of the blades with no additional cost and at the same time reinforcing them so that they don't break. Long blades are very expensive, unbalanced and can get damaged or break easily," Kamenov says.

The advantages of using wind energy are that it's renewable, nonpolluting and free. Disadvantages include diluted and unpredictable energy results, and high initial and maintenance cost.

This new invention is designed to meet many needs. They include the ability to reduce the cost of converting wind energy into electricity by providing a better construction and reinforcing and/or replacing the rotor and the blades with new and more efficient ones. It also hopes to use all wind potential, weak and strong and in more remote and high-location areas.

Available for licensing, some European, Chinese and Indian manufacturers and investors are already showing interest.

Five Queens and a Robot Win Top Honors and Head to Sacramento

MONROVIA, Calif., Feb. 27, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Five young women from Monrovia High School and their rhinestone-encrusted robot won the top Inspire Award at the Los Angeles FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) Regional Championship Tournament held at Monrovia this past Saturday, the Monrovia High School Robotics Program announced today. Along with six other teams from cities ranging from Santa Barbara to San Diego, they advance to compete with top teams from eleven western states, Alaska and Hawaii in McClellan, Calif., near Sacramento on March 20-22, 2014 at the West Super-Regional FTC Championship.

These five junior class women - the "Kings and Queens" team - designed and built their own 18 by 18 inch robot from Tetrix parts, plexiglass, and machined aluminum to compete with alliances of robots on a 12 by 12 foot field. They stand out not just for their driving, design prowess, and their robot's ability to raise a flag and pull itself up on a bar. Heads turn as they drive their purple robot "Your Highness" while wearing their signature costumes of purple-velvet-and gold-embroidered renaissance dresses. They also spread the word of robotics design as they share their robot adventures with elementary and middle-school students around Monrovia.

Engineer and computer programming judges from major regional companies chose the team from among a field of the top 48 FTC robotics teams from throughout Southern California as the "role-model" team for their on-field success, teamwork, inspiration to others, representation of the First Robotics program to their school and community, and embodiment of "Gracious Professionalism," the core value of the FIRST program.

This win is the first Regional champion from Monrovia High School in its four-year-old FTC robotics program, supported by company sponsors and members of the community and led by physics teacher Tom Dobson. Monrovia High School advanced four teams to the Los Angeles Regional Championship, which drew winners from eight qualifier competitions from Los Angeles out to the High Desert. This high school FTC after-school program is one of many opportunities supporting STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) in conjunction with Monrovia's Math and Science Academy. A second of Monrovia High's four FTC Robotics teams, "Team R.E.D.," won an alternate spot for the Super-Regional tournament.

Winning teams in the West Super-Regional Competition will advance to the international championships in St. Louis, Mo. on April 23-26, 2014. The Monrovia High School FTC robotics program welcomes tax-deductible donations and company sponsorships to help cover the cost of traveling to Sacramento and hopefully on to St. Louis.

About the FIRST Tech Challenge Competition (FTC):

In the FTC program, teams of middle and high school age teens design and build robots to address game challenges announced each September. Each robot must be built using only specified parts and materials, and the entire robot must occupy a space no larger than 18x18x18-inches at the start of each match. In this year's game, "Block Party," robots pick two-inch yellow plastic cubes from the floor and deposit them into elevated goals on a balance beam, raise a flag, and grab a bar suspended three-feet high and lift itself completely off the surface. Robots compete in five 2-1/2 minute matches over the course of four hours that combine a 30-second pre-programmed period using sensors and software written by the teams to drop blocks into goals marked with infrared beacons and navigate onto a wooden ramp, and a two minute teen-driven period using game controllers. Teams compete in pairs for the highest score, with the pairings randomly assigned, and a team's partner in one match can be their opponent in another.

More than 140 teams compete in the Los Angeles FTC Region from schools, community groups, and other organizations. Teams sign up each September and compete November through February in the region.

Author Says His New Law May Shed Light on Nuclear Fusion Problem

TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. 14, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "Spacedrive, Warpdrive, Free Energy and Other Ideas" (ISBN: 978-146-792-0926), authored by Tom Prendivoj, explores and challenges an array of scientific theories and situations. His concepts and principles pose problems and solutions, leaving the reader wanting more.

For example, he poses why nuclear fusion won't work in a magnetic reactor like the tokamak. He then goes on to create "Prendivoj's Law" which states: A magnetic field (regardless of field strength) cannot hold a plasma at or beyond its fusion temperature. It's the law. He offers a solution that may surprise some.

"The end analysis is that sustainable nuclear fusion cannot be established with current engineering methods," Prendivoj says. "My new law may shed some light on the fusion problem."

Among many other ideas and concepts, he touches on the mysterious and popular roadside tourist attraction - the Oregon Vortex and attempts to explain the theory. He also dives into the "Faster than Light" theories of quantum mechanics.

Composed of the author's scientific notes, the book addresses how it may be possible to achieve such things as spacedrive, warpdrive and free energy with some well-derived explanations.

"Spacedrive, Warpdrive, Free Energy and Other Ideas" is currently available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon at: http://amzn.to/1gB37pP .

About the Author:

Tom Prendivoj is a Toronto-based "self taught amateur scientist." This is his first book. Fascinated by scientific principles, he enjoys explaining complicated concepts in laymen's terms. He says that this book is written to appeal to a wide audience - basically anyone who is curious and seeks knowledge.

"I was prompted to share my thoughts," he says. "I hope it sparks some discussions."

CPEP Celebrates 25 Years of Serving Underserved Youth

MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Oct. 7, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For 25 years, the Connecticut Pre-Engineering Program (CPEP) has been serving as a catalyst to significantly change underrepresented and underserved students' knowledge, attitudes and behaviors toward the pursuit of education and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

In 1986, business executives partnered with innovative Connecticut educators to design a cutting-edge program designed to inspire and prepare African American and Hispanic students to pursue careers in STEM. Their vision was to build a non-traditional experience that could be replicated throughout the state. In 1988, CPEP was launched in one middle school serving 20 students. Due to the program's demonstrated ability to attract, nurture and inspire underrepresented students, CPEP has grown to serve more than 1,500 students annually in 40 schools throughout 13 school districts in Connecticut.

To celebrate this milestone event, CPEP is hosting the Engineering Brighter Futures Gala on Saturday, October 26, 2013 from 6 p.m. - 11 p.m. at the Omni New Haven at Yale. CPEP students, teachers, staff and supporters from its 25 year history will come together to reminisce, reflect and celebrate the organization's significant accomplishments.

Over the past 25 years, CPEP has served more than 25,000 students many of whom have graduated high school and pursued STEM careers. These students are now serving in the workforce across Connecticut.

"Every person that has supported CPEP over the past 25 years has contributed to the successes and accomplishments we see today," said CPEP CEO Bruce Dixon. "Many CPEP students credit the organization with giving them the will and drive to pursue educational opportunities and careers in STEM. This is ultimately why we do what we do, and we hope to continue to do it for another 25 years."
