Corona Zine

What: A zine for queer and trans scientists and science enthusiasts, who don’t or can’t find space in the ivory tower.
Pay: Not listed.
Submissions: Stories about the struggle of being a queer and/trans science worker. Some questions to consider: What parts of working as a queer scientist or science knowledge worker make you feel invisible, unseen, and disconnected from your peers? In what ways can we seek each other out via invisible attraction across space and time? What holds your centre and brings you back in orbit on days when you feel adrift in the vacuum of positive and empowering queer + trans scientific representation?
