This summer, NASW offered the inaugural David Perlman Virtual Mentoring Program for graduate and undergraduate students. Created by the Education Committee to offer learning opportunities at a time when internships were in question due to the pandemic, 98 students were matched with 98 NASW volunteer mentors from a variety of science writing backgrounds.
In "Questing for Cures from a Boiling River," Barbu takes the reader deep into the Peruvian jungle to accompany a researcher on her quest towards a boiling river to study the unique bacteria that live there.
In "Ancient DNA reveals a Bronze Age bias for male horses," Chambers gives readers a glimpse into how and when ancient societies’ cultural ideals around gender influenced the animals they domesticated.
In "Boosting Language Processing with Song," Ramakrishnan explores the science behind why you may still have Dory’s ‘Just Keep Swimming’ stuck in your head, while the steps of the Krebs Cycle have long since left your mind.

This summer, NASW is offering an online virtual summer mentoring program for graduate and undergraduate students. Ninety eight students have been matched with 98 NASW volunteers from all career areas.
The Perlman Virtual Mentoring Program would not have been possible without the scores of volunteers who served as mentor-editors.
A virtual summer mentoring program launched by NASW’s Education Committee gave students an opportunity for mentorship and professional development they may otherwise have missed out on.
The NASW Education Committee is sponsoring a Virtual Mentoring Program for students who are unable to participate in a summer internship or other opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we need your help to assist the many students who find internships cancelled or unavailable.
