What volunteer/intern STEM opportunities are there for high schoolers??
Hi! I'm a rising junior who's looking into studying a STEM major, most likely biology or biochemistry. Are there any resources to find volunteer or internship opportunities that are local to me? For college, do I need to volunteer in a STEM field, or would a local hospital or library be sufficient? TIA

As a future dentistry student, how do most pre-dental students navigate the financial burden of dental school, and are there any specific strategies or programs that help them?
I am an 18 year old rising college freshman and have been interested in pursuing dentistry throughout all four years of high school. I am convinced this profession will not only help me serve my community but also help give me a bigger understanding of collaboration and communication. I already have experience volunteering at a hospital and have frequent visits with my orthodontist but I am just worried about paying for this professions education as I am aware it will not only take a long time and be difficult, it will also cost a pretty penny.

How versatile and stable are the chemical engineering vs. bioengineering fields, and where do the two overlap??
I'm a student at Oregon State University currently majoring in Bioengineering. I'm considering switching to Chemical Engineering. So far, I have taken on one internship doing biochemistry research and I'm a licensed Pharm Tech. I know that I'm interested in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I want to know which major is most applicable to pharmaceuticals or has the potential to expand my options should I find out I'm interested in non-pharma things. If you can, please also comment on any potential salary differences. Thank you for your help!

What careers in chemistry if I love ochem?
I’m a junior in college and recently decided that my major, marine biology, isn’t going to work out. But I love chemistry and am taking organic chemistry at the moment and find it so fascinating . I need to talk with my advisor to tell her that I need to switch to biochemistry or chemistry degree. I figured biochemistry would have the best of both worlds , chemistry and biology, but the more I read they don’t work with the nitty gritty of chemistry itself but of the interactions with organisms. Is that true? I know I need to go to grad school so don’t want to make the wrong choice , I just I enjoy science, mechanisms and the actual interactions with molecules themselves and specifically organic chemistry . Is there a career that would involve that ? Ideally I would want to work in a lab as well . Thanks ! ? Also, I’ve researched into environmental chemist, do they work with chemistry much or just mainly policy and paperwork ?

What should I do before I apply to colleges and related programs/scholarships in order to have a competitive application that stands out?
I am getting ready to go into my senior year of high school and want to make the most out of it before I apply to colleges and related programs/scholarships. I am interested in doing biochemistry and animal sciences, considering double majoring. My long term goal is to go to vet school. I already work at a vet clinic, have lots of leadership and volunteer experience, get good grades, have shadowed veterinarians, and take many science/health classes. I have also been very involved inside and outside of school in a variety of activities. Lately I’ve tried to find more opportunities related to animals. I feel like I’m in a good place for applying to colleges but is there anything I should be doing to stand out? I want to apply for competitive programs such as Purdue’s Veterinary Scholars Program.

How do scientific researchers come up with their ideas?
I'm an 11th grader in some biotechnology classes, and it's got me very interested in pursuing a career in medical research. However, I don't really understand how researchers come up with their ideas. Is there a list out there to choose from, or do people come up with them themselves? Because I've been trying and never came up with anything.
