Engels wins science art competition at SDSU

Sarah Engels, a senior Biochemistry major/bio minor student at South Dakota State University - College of Natural Sciences, was awarded first place in a recent "Science as Art Competition" fundraising event.
The top two students and top two faculty members will have their winning art printed, framed and hung in the new Dean's office this year.
Those entering the contest had to be a full-time student or a member of the faculty in the College of Sciences. Entries could be a painting, drawing, photograph or any medium that is related to science.
"The winning pieces will be auctioned off at the end of the year for the fundraiser," said Engels, who was recently accepted into dental school for next year.
Engels was informed about her winning entry last Friday. Voting was conducted online for two weeks.
"I was very excited to learn that I won and that my research will be recognized in the Dean's office, and that I could show the artistic side of science," she said.
Engels submitted a microscope photograph showing immune cells: lymphatic cells (yellow and blue) and macrophage (pink) in mouse corneas. The picture was from a research project she completed last spring.
