[quote=Anonymous]With the fall semester in full swing, students across the County are settling into the new school year. At Thomas Jefferson High School For Science And Technology, freshman Linda Pistun has her eyes on the stars.

Pistun, 10, an accomplished student even before stepping foot on campus, is an author of her own children’s book, advocate for science education, and founder/CEO of the nonprofit Linda’s Lab. Pistun’s passion for science started very early. After watching her brother conduct chemistry experiments, Pistun saw the periodic table, which she credits with sparking her love for science, “I ended up memorizing [the periodic table], and I loved it,” she said.

Her bond for science grew stronger when her kindergarten teacher taught her about mealworms--the larva of a darkling beetle. Pistun wanted to learn more about mealworms, so she asked her mother to purchase 500 mealworms so she could watch the lifecycle of these insects.
