Art in Research Competition 2019
Description:
Art and research are some of the most sophisticated products of human intellect. To showcase the extraordinary research at Yale, the YPA is announcing an “Art in Research” contest. Postdoctoral Researchers, Associate Research Scientists and Graduate students working at Yale can submit their research-related images, photographs, illustrations, models and visualization in 3 different categories. The top three submissions from each category will be selected as winners and presented and awarded at the 2nd Annual Yale Postdoc Symposium on the 7th of June in Kroon Hall. Moreover, the best submissions related to each of the top Yale science priorities (Data science, Quantum science, Inflammation, Neuroscience, Environmental & Climate science) will be awarded. Finally, these images may be used to showcase the diversity of research at Yale in future media outlets, internal announcements and general promotional material.
