🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨
WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people.
We're in an all-hands-on-deck moment here.
We've learned the hard way that talking to each other on social media about these problems, while very important, is insufficient to get CORRECT information to a critical mass of people.
That's why, if you ask me, it's time to hit the street.
4 artists & 3 scientists collaborated on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic.
Where should you put these posters?
Community Bulletin Boards
Classrooms
Your street-facing window
Wooden street poles
ETC

Alright now go buy some posters and put them in the public space. I'd give them to you for free but uhhhh I'm broke and can't afford to. We're making them as cheap as we can.
imagine if aliens found the dead body of a human being exploded in the vacuum of space and they started making fun of the mutilated corpse calling it “splatter alien” and saying it was the ugliest alien in the whole galexy. and then made stuffed animals of it to sell to their alien kids. that’s what happened on this planet to the blob fish
I’ve never made a meme before, but everyone is raving about this angler fish so I decided to add in my input as a bioecologist 🧫
See what DOGE was about all along?
