Comic book nerds, take note! This graphic edition of OMSI's Science Pub programming will feature talks by University of Oregon professor Kate Kelp-Stebbins and Portland Community College instructor Audra McNamee. They'll probe the "peculiar formal grammar of comics" to consider how the medium might communicate scientific information. (Did you know that comics were once viewed as dangerous by anti-communist alarmists? They're still censored today—the most banned book in 2022 was Maia Kobabe’s graphic memoir Gender Queer. Head to this talk to learn more about their cultural power.)
