Biodiversity comic strips

Disseminating knowledge about biodiversity research is not a simple task, but the QCBS is actively working to offer varied opportunities to develop the communication skills of its members and diversify the center’s scientific communication tools.

In 2026, the CSBQ challenged its members to try to popularize their research and their commitment to biodiversity by creating a short comic strip.

The QCBS’ comic strip contest has now come to a close. You can take a look at the wonderful submissions in the section below, or you could also browse through our very own comic book:

All the comics can be downloaded, printed, and distributed according to your communication and outreach needs. The intellectual property of each work belongs to its creators. You may cite the work in the following ways:
