Rewarding A Drive For Science

Youtube

Do you love science?  Or at least like it a lot? 

We keep working as a society to engender interest in the STEM fields--science, technology, engineering and math. 

And an Oregon student, Rachel Lertora from Astoria, is a finalist in a national science competition climaxing on 4-H National Youth Science Day.

Rachel had tocreate a video answering the question "why do you love science?"  

Listen to how well-versed she is in her intended field, marine biology; Astoria High School runs its own fish hatchery!
