To celebrate LGBTQIA+ STEMM Day on November 18 2020, we invited queer-identifying STEMM folks of all ages and stages to take science communication to a new level. We challenged them to create and share a single static image that explains their research (or a specific scientific topic) within the four corners of a napkin or serviette.

This competition was proudly organised and run in collaboration with Science Gallery Melbourne. You can find more details about Science on a Serviette on their website.

Congratulations to our winner Sarah Sandford and our runner-up Matthew Coleman, who won gift vouchers for Hares & Hyenas Bookshop.
