If you're looking to spend your quarantine doing something other than baking or binge watching, you might consider channeling your energy into the annual short fiction Better Futures 2020 Writing Contest. Hosted by Sapiens Plurum and the Future of Life Institute, this year's challenge asks participants to imagine how technology can increase empathy and connection between species or other forms of life. Deadline May 31. http://sapiensplurum.org/contest-rules/
