Artwork by Arjumand Wani awarded in Science of Art competition
The Strategic Communication, Education and Outreach (SCEO) Department recently hosted the Art of Science Competition, calling upon St. Jude employees to submit original artistic renderings of scientific concepts. This artwork, by Arjumand Wani, was chosen as the third place winner.
This artwork entitled The Art of Cells is an acrylic painting which illustrates the concept of fluorescence microscopy, a technique used to visualize cellular structures. The vibrant colors represent various staining methods: DAPI highlights nuclei in blue, while Phalloidin stains F-actin in green and anti-tubulin reveals microtubules in red. Together, these stains provide a vivid depiction of cellular organization and dynamics, highlighting the complexity of life at the microscopic level on a canvas. Wani's illustration won third place in the Art of Science competition.
