I’ve got plenty of stamps, so please don’t be shy about postcard requests. Like last time, I’ll be sending engaging people here, online.

- I've got plenty of stamps, so please don't be shy about postcard requests.
Like last time, I'll be sending engaging people here, online. Ask questions, share stories. AND I will be sending postcards! Just like before, I am happy to send a
postcard to anyone who requests one. Please complete the Google Document below. The document helps me keep track of everyone. If you didn't get your postcard from last year, please complete the address form below and leave me a note and let me know. I found out for one person that another postcard was stuck to his. (sowwies) This may explain why some people didn't get cards.
I will be sure to fan postcards well this time. Either way, drop me a line or send me a tweet. I'll be traveling, in the air (St. Louis - Atlanta - Amsterdam - Nairobi - Dar Es Salaam) starting Monday, April 15, until Wednesday, April 17. I still have a half of a day's ride to my final destination, Morogoro, Taznanzia. I may need a day or two to rest up then get my technology on deck. Feel free to leave messages for me here or shout outs on Twitter or my Facebook Fan Page, use the hashtag #DispatchesDNLee - because the short updates are easier than blog posts.
I get several requests from families and educators from all over. Sharing these postcards are a tiny piece of outreach but it goes a long way to inspire kids and kids at heart who only dream of travel and doing science. If you feel so inclined to donate ($5 or so) to offset the cost of postage, I would greatly appreciate it. It will help share sciene with more people.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
