Get involved!

You are most welcome to get involved in Molecular Frontiers! Please click below and fill out the appropriate form!

Why not get involved in the Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize, which is be handled by a global network of scientists! Via our Web site MoleClues, young people from all over the world can submit questions about molecular science.

Click here to become a Coordinator.

A Coordinator is a scientist, typically at the professor or postdoctoral level, who  evaluates each question for eligibility – is the question scientific in nature, related to molecules in a broad sense and not trivial? – and assigns the question to a mentor, a more junior person (typically a graduate student) who writes a response to the inquirer. The coordinator should not need to devote more than two hours per month to the role.

Click here to become a Mentor.

A Mentor is a scientist, typically at the Ph.D. student or postdoctoral level, who answers questions from teenagers that a coordinator forwards. The response need not necessarily constitute a complete answer, but can direct the teenager to a source where an answer can be found and encourage her/him to keep searching. The mentorship offers a chance to publish answers to intriguing questions on the Molecular Frontiers Web site and to gain practical training in explaining science to a young lay audience. The mentor should not need to devote more than two hours per month to the role.

MoleClues is always under development and needs input from many different people. Maybe you are a musician and want to write some music for the Web site? Maybe you are a photographer (professional or hobby) and want to contribute with photos for the Web site? We will use narratives on the Web site; maybe you enjoy writing short stories? Or maybe you have other talents? Let us know!
