The Union of Concerned Scientists recently had asked for submissions for Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest. The challenge was to submit an editorial cartoon highlighting political interference in science.
Now they have 12 finalists and they are asking people to vote to decide the winner. Vote here by Friday, August 8th.
Which is your favorite? I’m partial to number 11,… the one with the lab coats.
Please share widely!
Oh wait… yeah, number 11.
