As families and friends across the U.S. share a meal, I think about what a woman I interviewed last week in Mississippi told me: “Every vegetable, every fruit, every meat on the plates of the American people was harvested or processed by immigrants.”

Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, using images on a deck of cards instead of numbers. I decided to create my own version of lotería cards with science-related images, such as gloves, centrifuge, pipette, and even a reviewer. I wanted to combine my passion for science and art in a fun and creative way. I hope you enjoy my science lotería as much as I enjoyed making it. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for more cards.
