In January, we hosted our very first science art contest! We had three categories contestants could choose from based on their location: Davis/Sacramento, California, or out-of-state (honorable mention only). We received incredible submissions to all categories, and are excited to announce the winners!
Davis/Sacramento:
Jayce Taylor won our local Davis/Sacramento category with her embroidery piece of a forgotten petri dish (we’ve all been there!).

It's summer, and many of us have returned to the lab and field. Good science communication is more important now than ever, so check out our August newsletter for events, resources, and opportunities.
Summer's here, and as we slowly return to lab and field work, we hope that you take time to continue developing your science communications skills. SciComm is more important than ever!
We stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, neighbors, and friends against systemic racism, marginalization, repression, inequities, injustices, and discrimination.
We hope you're staying safe and well at home. The Science Says team is here to support you, and we are working hard to keep you up to date on ways to keep practicing your science communication. Stay tuned for new virtual workshops in June and July!
