Wellcome Awards

Yet again The Wellcome Trust has demonstrated that scientists can create more artistic images than can most contemporary artists. The BBC has posted the 20 images shortlisted for this year's Wellcome Image Awards. Shown is Maurizio de Angelis's Pollen Grains being released from a flower in the Asteraceae family. The winner will be announced on 18 March, the day before the exhibition opens at the Wellcome Trust HQ in London, admission free. For the first time the shortlist includes an image made by 3D printing (CLICK).
