The Art of Science contest celebrates the beauty that can emerge during scientific exploration. UC San Diego and UC San Diego affiliate undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty researchers were invited to submit images and graphics directly related to their research along with a title and a caption that describes their research in a way that is both engaging and accessible to non-scientists.
Help us select a “community favorite” image by casting your vote between April 14 – May 9. Winning images will be announced on May 24.
