#SciCommMake — Where Art and Science Meet

#SciCommMake is a unique program, organized by Sigma Xi and Association of Science Communicators, to bring together interdisciplinary teams of scientists, artists, and science communicators. The teams compete for funding to create innovative artwork and films that effectively and broadly communicate scientific evidence to the public.

Selected scientists and artists participate in a virtual matchmaking session to identify partners and develop a project concept. Teams are formed based on participants' ranked choices and complementary expertise. Matched teams then meet with coaches for feedback on their project concepts and pitch their ideas to a panel of judges. Winning teams receive funding to complete their projects and are invited to present at the Science Talk Conference in the spring, as well as the International Forum on Research Excellence, presented by Sigma Xi in the fall.
