Since 2024, the Junior RNA Scientist Representatives have held an annual RNA Day (AUG 1) Art & Baking Competition, soliciting submissions of artwork and culinary creations from any member of the RNA Society. The winners of the competition were chosen by popular vote open to all members of the RNA Society. Keep an eye out in July for an email from the RNA Society and posts on the Junior RNA Scientist social media platforms for details on how to enter this year’s RNA Day Art Competition. We can’t wait to see your beautiful creations!
