Learn how to turn science and scientific information into engaging comics! Open to all ages, and all levels of comics and art experience. Feel free to bring any art supplies you’d like to use, but we’ll provide plenty as well.
The workshop is led by student artists who have completed the University of Oregon Science and Comics Initiative, in which they collaborated with researchers across UO to create comics describing the researcher’s work. Past comics topics include bioelectric communication in zebrafish, adolescent brain development, and quantum entanglement.

Do you struggle to share your writing at the early stages because it’s not perfect?
Do you find yourself devastated by criticism of your work?
Do you beat yourself up every time the tiniest thing goes wrong?
Is it difficult for you to celebrate other people’s success because it reminds you of your own shortcomings?
If any of these things sound familiar, CONGRATULATIONS! You’re a perfectly normal perfectionist! The only problem is that the nature of the Academy is likely to exacerbate your perfectionist tendencies, as opposed to minimizing them.
In this webinar, perfectionists will unite to get clear about:
The causes and consequences of excessive perfectionism. The features of academic life that intensify perfectionism. Strategies to identify when your perfectionism is at work, assess whether it is useful or debilitating, and adjust your standards and behavior accordingly. The secret to finding real satisfaction in every step of the writing process.

We will explore the artistic evolution of the modern world’s most influential imaginative writer. Born in Dublin in 1882 and oppressed by religion but steeped in theology and the classics, James Joyce fled to Switzerland and parts of Europe to invent the concept of the literary epiphany, the moment of recognition, the flash of understanding, as embodied in a perceived mundane symbol.
6:30–8:30 p.m.
