Scientists inspire kids with STEM comics

摘要

Jaye Gardiner loves comic books, and she loves science. Sensing an opportunity, she decided to combine the two. In 2015, Gardiner and two friends, Khoa Tran and Kelly Montgomery, founded an online publishing platform called JKX Comics. The three were pursuing Ph.D.s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison at the time. Knowing how tough it can be to explain research or engage students in the nuances of science, the group decided to use the easy-to-digest cartoon format and light humor to boost scientific literacy.
