Art in Science Competition invites artworks to the annual exhibition on ISMB 2018 in Chicago

摘要

The International Society of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (ISCB) bringstogether scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. Practitioners in these fields are constantly dealing with information in visual form: from microscope images and photographs of gels to scatter plots,network graphs and phylogenetic trees, structural formulae and protein models to flow diagrams, visual aids for problem-solving are omnipresent. The ISCB Art in Science Competition 2017 at the ISCB/ECCB 2017 conference in Prague offered a way to show the beauty ofscience in art form. Past artworks in this annual exhibition at ISMB combined outstandingbeauty and aesthetics with deep insight that perfectly validated the exhibit’s approach or wentbeyond the problem’s solution. Others were surprising and inspiring through the transitionfrom science to art, opening eyes and minds to reflect on the work being undertaken.
