“Through drag, I've experienced acceptance in a way I never did in STEM.”

Beyond being a one-of-a-kind professional development opportunity (and that it is!), our performers resoundingly remember Science is a Drag as empowering and liberating.

Performers receive 1:1 coaching with our award-winning team of science communicators and past performers. Whether it’s help putting together your sickening scientific story, or applying that last coat of lipstick before hitting the stage, we gotchu.

All forms of drag, burlesque, clownery, and performance are welcome at all experience levels. We can’t wait to meet the next #ScienceIsADrag superstars.

“It feels incredible to have my identity as a queer scientist represented and [the show] reminds me that I have a community in both worlds …”

“[Participating] really helped me connect parts of my identity together and embrace who I am as a person…thank you 1000 times.”

“Queers, in all our glory, exist in science. And it can embrace us as much as we embrace it.”

“Unapologetically joyful.”
