Science and art on Nature Network

To celebrate its 208-year history in science, the Royal Institution of Great Britain is launching a competition in partnership with Nature, to find a work of art that conveys the excitement and beauty of science, as well as creative originality.

Nature Network publisher Li-Kim Lee was flicking through Nature recently and came across a notice about an initiative by the Wellcome Trust. The organization is providing a limited number of scientists with an intensive course in filmmaking. The deadline is 10 Dec 2007.

Matt Brown, Editor of Nature Network London, has put out a call for images of science in London and Boston, even offering his own camera as a prize.
