Revision as of 16:57, 3 March 2011

This year we are having a friendly photo competition, with winners being announced at the Graduate Student Spring Symposium. Each EEB graduate student can enter one biological photo they have taken, with a short caption including relevant details and the significance of the photo. To enter, send your photo and caption to Frank W. Smith (frank.smith@uconn.edu). A few days before the Spring Symposium (March 19), I'll send a link to the eeb-grad list to an on-line voting site.

2011 Photo Entrants


Photo by James Mickely
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
