Alright Open Science! Here's your chance to show off amazing community ads with graphic design skills that you can use to share with existing SE communities. Here's a related post: How can we promote this site?

Here is part of the canonical spiel given on meta posts on graduated sites where we submit our ads for voting1 (six upvotes and our ad is shown on the site), repurposed for a different use:

What are Community Promotion Ads?


Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?


  • the site's twitter account
  • useful tools or resources for physics research
  • interesting articles or findings for the curious
  • cool events or conferences
  • anything else your community would genuinely be interested in


Why do we reset the ads every year?



Image requirements

  • The image that you create must be 220 x 250 pixels
  • Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)
  • Must be GIF or PNG
  • No animated GIFs
  • Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

For more information, see What's the best way to create a community ad for a beta site?.

I invite everyone to submit ideas for our ad as answers, following the above guidelines.

How should I write an answer?

   [2]: http://clickthrough-url 

You can add comments as well for your ad. If you post an ad on another site, make sure that you post only the ad, and put any text as a comment.

1 Note: The sites on which the ad is posted must be related to our site's topic. Seasoned Advice would not be a good choice.

Early? Yes. But like the comment by HDE at the related Open Source post, these threads can get literally no activity, so it is good to start buzz around them when there is still a decently active community.
