Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest

The Union of Concerned Scientists is once again running their annual contest to choose the grand prize winner for the 2009 Defending Science calendar.  Although one went over my head (I won't say which one, in case it demonstrates that I am 'slow' today), picking the best of the bunch was difficult. 

At the same time, you can sign up for two UCS newsletters as well as their mailing list for 'action alerts'.  UCS has recently been running a number of articles on the economic and environmental value of organic farming More troubling is recent research on a potential link between antibiotic use in animal husbandry and strains of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics.
