Advances in imaging technology and tools mean that scientists have an increased ability to generate exciting data as well as to create compelling works of art. Binghamton University’s fourth-annual Art of Science contest offers an opportunity to share the beauty of science through photographs and images that describe some aspect of research captured visually.
Binghamton students, postdocs, faculty and staff members will compete in two categories:
- The World Around Us: images in which the subject is visible to the naked eye
- Visualizing the Unseen: images captured with the use of optics that extend beyond what the eye can see, such as microscopes and telescopes, or models of scientific phenomena or processes or interpretations of scientific information
Images will be evaluated based on scientific significance, originality and artistic and visual impact. The top prize will be a new iPad!
Entries are due by Feb. 24, 2020. For further details, visit http://go.binghamton.edu/artofscience.
