A middle school student emailed me w/questions about teen pregnancy and pregnancy prevention. I started to answer and then started to worry I was being targetted to see if I would write about sex ed to an unknown teenager. What would you do? Especially in 2025?

Anyone have experience with co-design with teachers/instructional specialists as design partners?

How do you indicate their authorship on resulting products? Does authorship have implications I would need to run by the university? Hoping I can just make that call?
