Dear colleagues,

There will be a biology research exhibition during the Researchers' Night on 29^th September.

Theme is – “Living World from Different Perspectives”.

We need more representatives of bacterial, plant, and fungi research, as there are almost none. It would be really great if we could show the diversity of our research!

So far, I have got mostly animal images, but there is also a lot of plant and bacterial research going on, so it would be great if we get more representatives of these fields as well, plus more animals, too! To remind you, pictures could include, and are not limited to: x-ray images, pictures of skeleton, juvenile individuals, stained plant or animal cells, bacteria, plant leaves, close-up images of insect, animal feathers, plants, images of animals from a drone, plants/forests from a drone, or anything else that would show the living world how we see and study it, which is usually different from what public might perceive. In any case, this is a great opportunity to showcase your research, contribute to science communication, and practice your skills in cramming lots of info into a short but informative text.

REQUIREMENTS:

PICTURE

As high resolution as you can get
Square composition if possible
Your own image, or image from a colleague with permission; no screenshots

ENGLISH TEXT

100 words maximum (written in easy language and understandable to general public)
Contains species name in English and Latin
Explains why the research is important or why the species is important = why should general public care about our research and how is it relevant to them
How the picture was taken
What do you do in the project
Species name and the relevance of the research are the crucial parts, and if nothing else fits, then the rest can be put to the website (see below).

FINNISH TRANSLATION

Translation of English text - so do not worry too much about 100 words limit in Finnish text when translating

LINK FOR QR CODE

Link to the project description - either website, blog, or your own portfolio where you explain your project in detail, such as "Researcher's Profile", or even recent news article!
There you need to state in more detail what is your project about and why it is important (why should people care)

SUBMIT (TO ME) AS SOON AS YOU CAN, THE LATEST BY THE END OF JULY. (This is because the exhibition will have another, a more active part based on the picture submission, for which I need to prepare in advance.)

In case you have any questions or are not sure what picture would be suitable, just send more pics to me and I will help you with that.

Let me know if you need to see examples of the text needed for the picture, or if you need any help with the text!

Best wishes,

Dominika
