Visualizing Science - Competition Results

Here are some of the winning photographs and illustrations from the 2009 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge:


First Place, in the Illustration category was won by a photo taken by Peter Lloyd Jones, Andrew Lucia, Annette Fierro and Jenny E. Sabin. It is entitled: 'Branching Morphogenesis' and shows large scale templates from simulations of networking endothelial cells cultured on a 3D matrix were overlaid with more than 75,000 interconnected zip ties to show the complexity of an organic datascape and process.

First Place, Illustration went to Kuen's Surface: A Meditation on Euclid, Lobachevsky, and Quantum Fields, a photo by Richard Palais and Luc Benard

'This illustration not only symbolizes the history of the 2000-year-old failed effort to prove that the Parallel Postulate follows from Euclid's other axioms, but also the way that failure led to an important success, an equation that is of interest in modern geometry and quantum field theory' said the judges.

The use of graphic representation and hand-writing certainly answer the challenge of the competition. Each of the ten illustrations are well worth reviewing. Go to:
