Images of Medical Science Competition 2007

ABOUT THE COMPETITION
The competition showcases the variety of research being conducted within the Medical School, encourages excellence in scientific image generation, stimulates interest in the relationship between science and art, and highlights the poster production facilities available at Ninewells. The competition is open to staff (all grades) and postgraduate students of the Medical School.

Entries are judged on originality, informational content, technical proficiency, and visual impact. Images must reflect research within the Medical School. 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, molecular structures, 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.
