Science Idol: The Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest.

From the Union of Concerned Scientists

Happy Independence Day! Let's make this 4th of July a celebration of independent science, free from political interference. As you've read in the news in recent months, science has been manipulated, distorted, and suppressed because of politics, while scientists have been censored at a level never seen before in the United States.

We've reached the halfway point of our call for entries to Science Idol: The Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest. We've received some great entries so far, but luckily, it's not too late to get in on the excitement.

How to Enter
This is your chance to show off your artistic and comedic talents by creating a one-panel or multi-panel cartoon that takes on the issue of political interference in science. Entries are due by July 31, 2006.
