The university will open its fourth "Art of Science" exhibit online Monday. All the photographs and other images in the collection were made in the course of the institution's scientific research. This year's theme is "energy," a broad term that can refer to everything from the use of electric propulsion technology to protein design meant to identify new amino-acid sequences. There are 45 pieces in the exhibition chosen from 115 submitted works from 20 different departments on the campus. "In this we were thinking very broadly, but I do think if you look at these images as a whole, you can see energy in them," said Adam Finkelstein, an organizer and associate professor of computer science. Seen any good art in science? Send it to us via Twitter @wiredcampus or post it below. The music behind the images in the video slide show is "Art of Science" by Miracles of Modern Science; we'd also love to hear of any good bands that share their love of science or technology in name or song." Image caption: This image of a frozen section of a mouse eye, titled "Powering the Eye," shows connective tissue, blood vessels, sclera (the white part of the eye) and part of the retina. The green parts of this image are the calcium-binding protein Calretinin, which have been stained with an antibody. Cell nuclei are blue. The image was taken by graduate student Praveena Joseph-de Saram and Associate Professor Michael Berry of the Department of Molecular Biology. |
