As a diverse nation, the U.S. addresses several intersections of democracy and other disciplines during an election year. With concerns on the rise about climate change and public health, it comes as no surprise that science weighs heavily on the minds of prospective voters. The increased consciousness surrounding science and voting creates a space for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focused individuals, such as ninth-grade biology teacher Leslie Lane, to enter deeper into current civic discussions. “As someone who is highly involved in politics, I see democracy playing out in my daily life all the time. From helping pass laws, contacting my representatives, voting and encouraging others to vote, attending town hall meetings, protesting and helping fund different politicians and advocacy groups. If it's a way to be involved in democracy and the political process, I have done it,” Lane said.
