My son's middle school asked for volunteers for their STEM committee along with grant ideas. I will try to Shitlord this school through education. This is an excerpt of my submission: Hello, my name is ChipSlap. I am the father of 8th grader ChipSlap Jr., writing to volunteer my services on the school STEM committee.  My scientific credentials include a B.S. in Biochemistry (the rest of this paragraph is just a recounting of my scientific experience, the specifics of which are not important for FPH). The recommendations I would make regarding STEM grand spending would be centered around giving the students an understanding of the causes and consequences of obesity. More than 300,000 American deaths each year are due to complications of obesity, making this the worst public health threat of our time.  Since there are psychological, public health, social, dietary, genetic, epigenetic, biochemical, and kinesiological aspects to this phenomenon; all of these fields could be touched upon in a context of teaching the students how to maximize their chances of escaping the obesity epidemic. (Concluding paragraph with capital purchase recommendations) Thank you,  ChipSlap We will see how receptive they are to this.
