Had a blast at #ComSciCon25! The conference was jam-packed with sessions on all types of science communication.

Thank you to all the speakers and organizers who made this happen!

Update: I sent Vic back to my penpal with some new clothes and a "scrapbook" of adventures from his week of being a grad student.

Feel free to print yourself a copy of this scrapbook zine!

Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC:

"What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?"

Today, scientists will rally for science across the country..in protest of the dismantling of government funding/NIH and NSF. I hope you will join them! Here’s the info for those in SLC.

My 12 year old pen pal (with Letters to a Pre-scientist) sent me a handmade cardboard cut-out of Vic Fuentes, the lead singer of Pierce the Veil. For no reason, other than she loves them.

This is why I love this program 😂

Excited to share this article I made as a ComSciCon SciWri 2024 workshop participant! And I had to add some illustrations for all my fellow visual learners.

What a fun and valuable experience! A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.
