Research: The Big Picture
Guest
Post: Dee-Ann Johnson, The University of Manchester
What connects wishing trees in folklore, the inside of
a living chrysalis, and 5000 years of weather?
The third annual Images of Research Competition that’s what!
As part of the Manchester Science Festival, we
challenged scientists and engineers at The University of Manchester to tell their
research story using beautiful images and inspiring descriptions. We asked them
to show why
research is essential and important to
everyone.
Open to researchers in all subjects, the
entries came with intriguing titles including:
·
Your eely ancestor
·
The fire empowerment
·
More than skin deep
·
Standing proud
·
Scientific research: A real bed of roses
The competition presents just a taste of
the diversity and breadth of the research being conducted at the University.
But whether the subject matter is poverty, locomotion, climate change, health
or masculinity, we are sure of one thing – there is something of interest for
everyone.
Our researchers are passionate about their
work and the benefits their research can bring.
But now we turn the competition over to you
Cast your vote online now and help us decide which image has
captured your imagination, raised your curiosity, or got you thinking about the
research in a different way.
The competition runs from 7 October to 4
November 2013. The winner will be announced on 5 November 2013.
