The Medical School Information Services Committee announces the
Images

The
competition aims to showcase the variety of research being conducted within the
Medical School, to encourage excellence in scientific image generation, to stimulate
interest in the relationship between science and art, and to highlight the poster
production facilities now available at Ninewells.

All aspects of ongoing research are eligible. Entries may be either single images or composites, colour or monochrome. Possible examples might include: micrographs illustrating cellular processes, time lapse montages, computer tomography, images reflecting clinically oriented research, etc. but this is by no means an exhaustive list. Imaginative and inventive means of communicating our medical research are encouraged.
