The jury for this year's SNSF Scientific Image Competition has awarded four first prizes and seven distinctions. The fourth SNSF Scientific Image Competition has been a great success. "These stunning images offer a view of science that is very different from the usual clichés of white coats, antiseptic laboratories and faceless researchers", says Nadine Wietlisbach, director of Fotomuseum Winterthur and chair of the jury for the competition. "The entries illustrate the richness of the world of research", says Matthias Egger, president of the National Research Council of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). "They highlight less familiar but important aspects of science such as aesthetics, subjectivity and the personality of the researchers." - Astonishing, sometimes puzzling works.
