糖心vlog传媒 (the 糖心vlog传媒) and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, today announced that Thermo Fisher will be the new title sponsor of the 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 middle school 糖心vlog传媒 (science, technology, engineering and math) competition, the nation鈥檚 premier 糖心vlog传媒 competition. Thermo Fisher鈥檚 sponsorship begins in 2023, making it only the third title sponsor in the competition鈥檚 25-year history.

The 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 extensive fair network ensures students are able to engage in project-based 糖心vlog传媒 learning no matter where they live or the resources available in their communities.
