Jefferson's annual Research as Art competition celebrates all Jefferson faculty, students, and staff with an eye for the beauty of their research or scholarship. The panel of judges selected a winner from two categories: life under the microscope, reflecting cellular and molecular work, and conceptual art that shows renderings of research observations, experiences, and concepts in various media. They judged each piece based on aesthetic quality, meaning, and originality.
Bridget Boyle won in the Cellular Molecule category for her piece, “Celestial Memories: Hippocampal Neurons in the Cosmos," and Maribeth Kradel-Weitzel won in the Conceptual Art category for her piece “Spinal Cord Injury Care Team.”
An exhibit featuring pieces from the Research as Art competition is up at the Scott Memorial Library on the Thomas Jefferson University – Center City Campus until the end of February. Download the competition PDF to view all submissions. Below are a few images of artists posing with their work.
