<p>Editorial cartoons can be funny. Political interference in science is not. </p>
<p>In the summer of 2006, creative minds throughout America had the opportunity to show off their artistic and comedic talents in support of independent science by entering Science Idol: the Scientific Integrity Editorial Cartoon Contest. Artists of all skill levels submitted hundreds of entries dealing with political interference in science, in areas ranging from global warming to public health. <a href="http://www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/science_idol/2006-science-idol-finalists.html

<p>UCS and four leading American cartoonists-Philadelphia Inquirer cartoonist Tony Auth, Christian Science Monitor cartoonist Clay Bennett, New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff, and Rhymes With Orange creator Hilary Price--narrowed down hundreds of witty entries to the twelve finalists featured in this calendar. Then the public chose the cartoon by James MacLeod (cover) as the best of the bunch, sending him on a trip to meet Mankoff of the New Yorker. </p>
<p>This calendar shows all 12 of the finalists, one for each month, and features the winning cartoon on the cover. Two additional bonus cartoons are featured on the calendar’s second page. An explanation of the relevant political context and circumstances accompanies each finalist cartoon. In addition, the calendar notes important dates in science history, dates related to political interference in science, and major holidays. </p>
<p>This cartoon calendar shows that the absurdity of political interference in science is ripe for lampooning-and serves as a constant reminder of how vigilant we must be in defending science from politics. It serves as a wonderful gift for scientists and non-scientists alike who believe that policy decisions should be guided by the best available science and want to spread awareness restoring scientific integrity in federal policy making.</p>
