The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has announced the start of the 5th Annual Faces of Biology Photo Contest. The contest encourages scientists to communicate research to the public and policymakers through imagery.
The theme of the contest is “Faces of Biology.” Photographs entered into the contest must depict a person, such as a scientist, technician, or student, engaging in biological research. The depicted research may occur outside, in a lab, with a natural history collection, on a computer, in a classroom, or elsewhere. The First Place Winner will have his/her winning photo featured on the cover of BioScience, and will receive $250 and a one year membership in AIBS, including a subscription to BioScience. The Second and Third Place Winners will have his/her winning photo printed inside the journal, and will receive a one year membership in AIBS, including a subscription to BioScience.
