Science in Pictures

The Visions of Science awards.

So, what is a Vision of Science? To the judges of the Awards, a Vision of Science is an attention-grabbing image that gives new insight into the world of science and the workings of nature. It may show something never seen before, it may explain a scientific phenomenon, it may illustrate scientific data or it may simply be an image that shows the beauty of science.

A couple of my favourites:

Action:

A fish opening his mouth to let a Cleaner Shrimp enter. The Cleaner Shrimp will eat the parasites and dead tissue in the teeth of the fish. The fish recognise this service, and will allow Cleaner Shrimp to enter their mouth without eating them.
