2011 Graduate Student Biological Photo Contest

This year we are having a friendly photo competition, with winners being announced at the Graduate Student Spring Symposium. Graduate students can enter their best/favorite biological photo, with a short caption relevant details and the significance of the photo. To enter, either send your photo and caption to Frank W. Smith, or if you are EEBedia savvy, you can add them to this page yourself. A few days before the Spring Symposium (March 19), a link will be provided on this page to vote. The graduate student photographers receiving the most votes win! (Prizes TBD)

2011 Photo Entrants

This is a photo of a flower bud from Eucalyptus macrocarpa, an odd eucalyptus species with very large leaves and flowers. The bud is about the size of a large grapefruit, and the bright red peeking out is the stamens--the flower has no petals. I took this photo in Kings Park in Perth, Western Australia, where it is native but rather uncommon. - James Mickley
