Stand Up for Science! Video Contest
From the creation of flu vaccines and new cancer therapies to enhancing agriculture and developing biofuels, bioscience breakthroughs are transforming our world and our health at a rapid pace. However, many Americans are not aware of the critical role the US federal government plays in supporting biological research and discovery. We are looking for you to create an exciting, yet informative video to help educate Americans on how science is funded! The contest is open to individual entrants residing in the U.S. who are at least 13 years of age at the time of entry.  The video should be between 1-4 mi...
