[Nhcoll-l] Showcase the value of collections: AIBS Faces of Biology Photo Contest

[Jyotsna Pandey]

Enter the Faces of Biology Photo Contest for a chance to win $250 and to
have your photo appear on the cover of the journal *BioScience*.



The competition showcases, in a personal way, biological research in its
many forms and settings. The images help the public and policymakers better
understand the value of biological research and education. The competition
is sponsored by the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in
addition to the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS).



“Photography is an effective tool to help communicate the process of
scientific research,” said Scott Glisson, CEO of AIBS.  “This contest
provides a visual forum for expression, inspiration, and technical skill
that can have a positive impact on how the public views research and
science.”



The theme of the contest is “Faces of Biology.” Photographs entered into
the competition 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 winning photos from the 2023 contest were featured in the April 2024
issue <https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/issue/74/4> of *BioScience*.



Submissions must be received by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30,
2024.  For more information or to enter the contest, visit our website
