VOTE TODAY!

Vote now for a chance to win a 2012 Scientific Integrity Calendar featuring all 12 cartoons!

 “A joke is a very serious thing.” These words, spoken by 18th century British poet Charles Churchill, still ring true today.

That’s why we again asked 12 talented artists to create editorial cartoons that poke fun at the not-so-humorous issue of political interference in science. View the cartoons and vote for your favorite here.    www.ucsusa.org  

The cartoons will be published in the 2012 Scientific Integrity Calendar, which will highlight the ways that special interests manipulate, distort, and suppress the science used to make policy and undermine the public’s understanding of scientific issues—often with disastrous consequences for our health, safety, and environment.

Fifty lucky voters will be selected at random to receive a free calendar. You only have a few days to choose your favorite—the deadline is August 23. Vote today!  www.ucsusa.org

Sincerely,

Michael Halpern
National Field Organizer
UCS Scientific Integrity Program
