Hello, 
I'm writing today to draw your attention to an opportunity to show off your artistic and comedic talents in support of independent science by entering the third annual Union of Concerned Scientists Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest.

They are looking for creative takes on the issue of political interference in science and the tasks that await our next president. You can submit one-panel or multi-panel print cartoons that address the misuse of science on a specific issue or in general, the affects of this abuse on our society, or your hope for the new administration. 
 
To learn more about the contest, including the official contest rules, submission guidelines, and last year's winners, visit the Science Idol website at: 
http://www.ucsusa.org/scienceidol

By entering this contest, you'll help demonstrate the dangers of political interference in government science and the need for strong leadership on this issue to your peers, the media, and members of Congress.

And you can join our efforts to get the presidential candidates engaged on this issue by asking questions and demanding answers. For sample questions for the candidates, click here http://www.ucsusa.org/ucsaction/ask-the-candidates.html. You can then contact UCS to tell them who you contacted and how it went by visiting
