Hi Melissa!
That study was very interesting, I thought the idea that teenagers are as good as evaluating risk as adults, but more likely to ignore risks added a new layer to this issue. I’m advocating for a […]

Hi Olympia,
Sorry the solar panel investigation went nowhere, hitting a dead end like that is always a buzzkill, but I’m glad you’ve found a new topic that you are interested in. The ramifications of legalizing […] -
