This UD art exhibit shows that science is beautiful, too

You’ve got two weeks to check out some cool snapshots (literally) of what research in Delaware looks like.
The University of Delaware’s first Art in Science exhibit begins today and culminates with a symposium April 16. Several researchers from varying fields have submitted images from their work that are on display in the Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory. Those images will be judged and ranked by a panel of artists, engineers and scientists for aesthetics, and the top 10 will speak about their projects at the symposium. The top three will win cash prizes.
The two-week event was organized to highlight research at UD and spark interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in students and the community.
Jeff Caplan, the director of the Delaware Biotechnology Institute’s Bioimaging Center, will be the keynote speaker at the symposium, and he’ll talk about microscopy techniques researchers use at UD. The symposium, by the way, is from noon to 5 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
