Can you imagine any administration who seems to want to keep our country down?
and I read not very long ago. that the EPA Science Web was removed by the
administrations order (The government report, that is).

Dear Theresa J.,
In March, we learned that federal climate scientists were told that they cant
talk about global warming and polar bears. A few weeks later, we received
confirmation that a Department of Interior official rewrote the work of
scientists who were attempting to save endangered species. And just this month,
a federal judge found that scientists views were suppressed to allow more
logging in the Pacific Northwest.
But as troubling as these examples of political interference in science are,
they fly under the radar screen of many Americans. To prevent these abuses of
power, we need to help all Americans understand that the misuse of science
negatively impacts their health, safety, and environment.
Thats where you come in.
New! Become Our Friend
Add Science Idol to your Facebook or MySpace and meet others who care about
protecting science! Youll also be among the first to know when the 12
finalists are selected and the public voting period begins.
Early Entry Incentive
Are you a procrastinator? Need motivation to enter today? Submit your entries
by May 8 to be entered into a drawing to win a special prize package of UCS
gear!
The Prizes
All 12 finalists will be featured in the 2008 Scientific Integrity calendar.
And the grand prize winnerselected by the public in Junewill receive $500 and
an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to have lunch with the

Educators
Check out this sample editorial cartoon lesson plan.
Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest
Three of Americas leading cartoonistsDoonesbury creator Garry Trudeau,
Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles, and Speed Bump artist Dave Coverlyhave
teamed up with UCS in Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon
Contest. Together, were seeking creative, original, and compelling editorial
cartoons that lampoon the misuse of science while communicating the dangerous
effects of this political interference.
These celebrity artists know that cartoons can make complex issues accessible
to mass audiences. The winner of last years contest, James McLeod, rounds out
the judging panel. Together, theyll work with UCS to narrow down the entries
to just 12 finalists. But you dont have much time. The entry deadline is May
22just a few short weeks away.
The grand prize winnerselected by the public in Junewill receive $500 and
an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to have lunch with the Washington
Posts Toles! And all 12 finalists will be featured in the 2008 Scientific
Integrity calendar, designed to keep this issue on the minds of thousands of
Americans all year long.
Making Progress
While the Bush administrations interference in science continues, Congress
is turning up the heat. In recent weeks, UCS has testified before the House and
Senate about political interference in science. Together, weve helped pass
strong whistleblower protections for scientists through the House.
Help us keep this momentum going. Defending science from political
interference wont be a top priority issue for Congress until we make it so.
Enter Science Idol and tell others about this contest today.
Your cartoon could be the one that helps UCS keep political interference in
science in the public spotlightwhere it should be. And you dont have to go
far for inspiration.
I look forward to seeing your creative and witty submissions. Remember, the
contest deadline is just a few weeks away!
Sincerely,
Michael Halpern
National Field Organizer
UCS Scientific Integrity Program
