Cartooning for Science
"A picture is worth a thousand words," as the well-known proverb goes.
By bringing together renowned scientists and illustrators, the event aims to review several noteworthy cartoons from recent news and to discuss, in a relaxed atmosphere, the challenges of popularizing science through press cartoons and comic, as well as the acceptance of a simplified version of scientific content.
