THE PETRI DISH:
Where Science Meets Culture!
A new student-ran digital magazine made by and for future science communicators
Our TaSC officers are at work preparing for our first issue of our science-focused student-led magazine centering all forms of hard and pop science, the graduate student life, and the culture of UT Southwestern. With this magazine, we invite all students, post-docs, and research scientists at our institution to contribute their ideas and writing to start building their experience in science communication
