 Prized pictures
The tallies have been made and the winning photos from the EEB student and faculty photo contest are as follows: First place goes to Zach Miller, EEB graduate student, for “Zach Miller and a curious visitor.” (left) Two photos submitted by Lucía Luna tied for second place: “Professor Barry OConnor looking for mites in mice specimens under his microscope, Cutervo National Park, Cajamarca, Peru, ~3000 m,” (right) and “Lucía Luna preparing specimens at Cutervo National Park.” Former postdoctoral fellow, Soochin Cho, captured third place with “grasshopper on top of a sunflower.”
Thank you to everyone for making this contest so fun and successful. We received 155 photo and 35 video submissions total! There were ten finalists. It was a pleasure to view all the photos and videos and see you all at work out in the field or in the lab. (more)
