Dinosaurs & Robots rocking Anchorage

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American

Several weeks ago here on Symbiartic, I posted the promotional image for the Robots & Dinosaurs science-art exhibit by artists Raven Amos and Scott Elyard.

Rockstar science-blogger Maggie Koerth-Baker of Boing Boing also featured the show.

From all accounts on Raven and Scott's blogs, the show has gone quite well! So well in fact, they've been asked to move to a larger venue. Catch the show at the Downtown location of Modern Dwellers Chocolate Lounge in Anchorage, Alaska with the reception starting November 4th at 5pm. Science-art for the masses! (Glad Symbiartic could help in our humble way! And thanks for the postcards!)

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
