In 2006 Princeton University submitted images found during research of different areas of science to be displayed as art in a gallery. 150 pieces were submitted from 16 different departments and 56 were chosen to be part of the gallery.
Art and science are usually not thought of as closely related which is why this gallery of scientific art brings up questions. Although some might say some of the images submitted are beautiful or at least look cool, they would not all agree that they can be considered art. I mean the things in these pictures were not created by a person and there is not really any creativity involved.
Either way, i thought that the idea of bringing these two separate things together is an interesting idea and that the images submitted are as well interesting. Below are the top three images submitted to the competition.
"First place, Mitosis, Jennifer Rea" 
"Second Place, Isolated Hairpin, Melissa Green"
"Third Prize, Easter Bonnet, Qiangfel Xia"
