Do you have some images from your research that you’re particularly proud of? They could be images of an endangered plant; perhaps a confocal micrograph of an insect gonad; or maybe a stunningly beautiful phylogram. You use them in your talks or as backgrounds for your posters … but don’t you wish you had an award that recognised your artistic genius?
To celebrate the launch of GSA’s new website we’d like your best images to decorate its pages. To this end, we’re running a GSA Image Competition for students and postdocs/ECRs, with the winner to be announced at the forthcoming 2019 GSA Conference. First prize: $300; runner-up $100 … plus the satisfaction of seeing your name in lights and bragging rights in perpetuity.
So turn those late nights on the confocal or long days in the field into cash and glory, and email your submissions by 5pm Monday July 1st to owen.marshall@utas.edu.au together with this Image Use Permission form. Images can be from all branches of the science of genetics, provided that they’re related in some way to your research. Entries will be judged by a panel from the GSA committee on artistic merit, and the winner announced at the close of the conference on July 3rd.
Entry is open to all students, postdocs and ECRs who are either a member of GSA or are attending the 2019 GSA Conference. Happy snapping, and good luck!
