ComSciCon Houston Science Communication Workshop

The Houston ComSciCon logo on a white background of a wagon wheel clock with a dark brown wheel and orange rope-style rim enclosing a tan clock face. Some of the major clock hour tics have science icon elements from the national ComSciCon logo such as an open book, a beaker, a DNA strand, and a planet. The word "Truth" is centered in the clock while a single red clock hand points at 1pm. Finally, the clock is surrounded by the black text "ComSciCon Houston 2026" at top and "Charting the Information Frontier” at bottom.Interested in science communication?
