How do I get published internationally as a minor?
I'm 14 and working on a few stories and want to get them published one day (under a pseudonym).

How can I obtain a scholarship?
How can I obtain a scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in sciences, specifically in biotechnology or any other biology-related field? I'm not asking about the application process or requirements, but rather how I can be competitive. Which programs would be recommended for me, considering that my GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5? My current English level is B1, but I can reach C1 in a short time. Additionally, I would like to know if there are Master's scholarships that accept the Duolingo English Test, though I doubt it. I also have about 15 certificates from Coursera in various fields, with a focus on biology, and I have a passion for learning. Apologies for the lengthy message, and thank you.
Whats a good topic?
I don’t know if I can ask this here or not but since there are professionals here and more people I can ask for opinions I will. So this year I’m participating in the science fair and I wanted to do a psychology experiment. We want it to be a grade appropriate experiment, we are in 11th grade. The thing is I have 4 topics I could possibly do with my partner but she likes 2 and I like the other 2. I don’t like the ones she likes so I’m asking here which one sounds better: 1. How much do high school students depend on artificial intelligence for English redaction assignments? 2. How many teens are mentally affected by social media and how does it correlate to gender and age? 3. Why do high school students procrastinate? 4. Can teachers really tell when students use artificial intelligence for their assignments? The thing I don’t like is that 2 of them are heavily researched on and almost everyone is well informed of it by social media. There has been multiple projects on those 2 and I wanted to do something more interesting, also the part where it says “English redaction assignments” is because our first language is Spanish and even though we are in a bilingual school many people are not fluent in English so I think they tend to use it more for English assignments. Which sounds like a more interesting topic?
Where can I find feedback on my poetry and other forms of creative writing?
I would like to get feedback on my writing in order to improve it. Especially for when I want submit pieces to literary magazines. I want to know if there are online communities I should join or websites I should look into. Ideally I would like to get feedback for free, but maybe could work out a small budget.
What advice would you give to an economics & politics graduate who wants to get into journalism? ?
I have a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations, and am studying for a master's in economics. I haven't studied journalism other than 2 courses in my bachelor's though I've done some volunteer work in media. I'm a good writer and communicator and I think I have a good skill set and range of experiences that would make me a good journalist, but I'm afraid that because I don't have formal training in it, I won't be able to do it. I don't have a particular preference for online, print, radio or television journalism at this point, though I'd probably feel more comfortable with (written) online and print at first. I live in Berlin, Germany and would like to stay here for the medium-term, but would be willing to move elsewhere for journalistic work. Thank you!
