A banner showcasing the Berkeley Science Review logo surrounded by previous issues of the magazine is draped over a white folding table. Above the banner are black and white coloring pages of magazine front covers, one featuring peregrine falcons, another chromatin and DNA, and a third a winged insect. Colored pencils and markers placed neatly next to the pages.

Please contact your senators & reps to ask them to preserve NIH funding.
