<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Dear Professor Xie Ming,
<br>
<br>
I would like to bring a new science competition to the attention of our teacher and school community. If your students enjoy astronomy and astrophysics, they will likely find this program compelling. Quantum mechanics is the foundation of everything from stellar
fusion to spectral analysis, and this competition brings that connection to life.
<br>
<br>
The <b>Global Quantum Mechanics Challenge (GQMC)</b> is an international program that could be a great fit for your physics and science students:
