Cara's update

As a science communicator its pretty thrilling to be two titles away from President Barack Obama in Science this week with a piece about the insect festival that I head up.

However, it's a little disappointing that this 285 word feature is behind a paywall (and at least a bit ironic, as its in a series titled, ‘Outside the Tower’).
 
Its had me thinking about access to information, and the forums available for us to wrap our minds around the waves of change that science spurs. And, of course, I’ve thought a lot about the credit that scientists and communicators do or do not get for participating in these various arenas and what that means for the possibility of vital discourse. Others have written about these things here and here.
​
All of this has made me appreciate the role and importance of SciArt anew. Its often beautiful, and / or thought provoking, and (relatively) accessible. So if you’re looking around for gifts (Valentine’s Day is around the corner!) why not check out SciArt on Etsy?

A big nod of gratitude to the folks at SciArt Center for all of the bridges that they create!
