"Science, Innovation and a lot of Humour" is a collection of more than 200 cartoons by cartoonists from more than 30 countries, all signed by scientists and researchers, and it's designed "to raise awareness of the relevance of graphic humor as a vehicle for explaining science," the exhibit's curator says in a press release.
