Issue 35
the Week of March 28, 2016
In this issue, we discover innovative women doing brilliant work in 3D printing, highlight Black culture and the lives of memes, and look at biometric surveillance in the world of video games. We get advice on getting sponsorship to fund diversity initiatives, and talk to the maker of a new game centering queer and trans people of color. Plus: free labor and conference speaking, and the racism in sci-fi and fantasy fandom. Photo CC-BY Sarah Klockars Clauser, cropped.
