The public vote is now open for science image competition.
The public vote is now open for the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Images with Impact competition.
Among those shortlisted are two of our Department of Plant Sciences researchers, Luke Braidwood and Dr Jill Harrison.
Anyone can vote for the winning pictures online at http://bbsrc2014.picturk.com.
Dr Harrison's image (shown above) depicts apical growth in a moss and Mr Braidwood's shows a farmer surveying the impact of the devastating Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN) on crops in Kenya.
The competition sought images that represented how life sciences are changing the world, in areas like: food, farming, bioenergy, biotech, industry and health.
The shortlist was selected by a panel of judges and now the public can have their say and vote for the category winners and runners-up.
The three category winners will go on to be shown at the Great British Bioscience Festival in London on 14-16 November where visitors will vote to decide the overall winner.
Voting will close on 31 October 2014.
