Dolphin-bones

One, Two, Three, Research

Let’s See Your Developed Research

Bottlenose Dolphin (above) by Danielle Ingle, Ph.D. candidate, department of biological sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, was one of 150 submissions in the 2019 Art of Science photo contest. A deceased adult female bottlenose dolphin, scientifically known as Tursiops truncatus, was recovered from North Palm Beach, Fla. on May 8, 2018 and necropsied at FAU's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. This dolphin had a bony pathological condition called spondylosis deformans, or the degeneration of the cartilaginous pads in between vertebrae, which is normally associated with aging. This dolphin's vertebrae was almost completely fused.

What does your research look like? With only two weeks away, now is the time to show off your best photos that convey research to the community.

The Division of Research is offering everyone in the FAU community, across all disciplines, to submit their photo to their second annual Art of Science photography contest.

The photo with the highest amount of votes from our panel of judges will win an iPad. In addition, top photographs are published in an upcoming issue of Owl Research and Innovation magazine, and the top undergraduate winner’s photograph will grace the cover of the Florida Atlantic Undergraduate Research Journal.

Our 2019 contest had almost 150 photographs that showcased research across all of FAU’s colleges. Your research photograph will help educate others in all the unique research taking place at FAU – in the field, in the lab and everywhere in between.

This opportunity is open to all members of the FAU community – students, faculty and staff – the Division of Research is accepting new photograph submissions through Oct. 15.

It’s time to capture research. Check out all the contest details and submit today at woobox.com/8nqc3m.
