What appears to be a kid-drawn poster about monkeys, saying we should stop cutting down trees because that is their home, and that we should donate to the Jane Goodall institute.

Ok hell yeah. Some kid (presumably) put their whole ass into this public education campaign. I’ve seen multiple stapled on poles near my house. I love the energy.

I swear to god it's like the yaoi fanfic authors have taken control of the timeline this weekend. I am not equipped to process this week. I thought I had become immune to shit being unthinkably weird but! NOPE. Here we are, experiencing the nightmare version of Red White and Royal Blue.

You need to be based in commute-distance of Portland.

We want to keep it to Portland-area people, I'm sorry! If it goes well we'll try it again the following year (in Pittsburgh).

I’m one lady, ya know? I can only be in one place at a time. Usually that place is Philly

I’m going to talk to them about picking stuff to go to and accepting that they’ll only be able to scratch the surface but they’re not going to get an official sit down lecture style training. Taking more of their time with that sort of thing would need a higher stipend.

I couldn't agree more. The shitty doodles I make at this conference every year crack me up every time. Dying to see what professionals do with it!

BTW if you are a conference organizer and want to see this kind of thing at your conference (and have funding to support the artists!!!) feel free to reach out to me.

Especially if your conference is in driving distance of Philadelphia, but even if it's not, I'm down to collaborate!

Honestly SICB is paying for this, I feel like a very lucky dog, but you can always support skype a scientist, since we're the rascals that spearhead this sort of thing

I tried to keep this application as painless as possible.

PLEASE share this post w/Portland-area artists! I don't have many connections in Portland so I need to lean on the artist community on here.

- You must be available at least some of Jan 3-7
- This call is open to Portland-area artists (we don't have funding to support travel to Portland, & we want to connect with the Portland art community).

We're scientists - this is a bit of an experiment!

All details are on the application page!
