“If science, like art, is to perform its mission truly and fully….its achievements must enter not only superficially but with their inner meaning into the consciousness of people”—Albert Einstein.

We were blown away by the quality of recent student-submitted articles we have received in The Pipette Gazette, and are excited to announce that we are holding a writing contest with Labroots. The contest is open to graduate students at UT Health San Antonio.

The official rules are below, but the big idea is that we are inviting graduate students to write about science – on any scientific topic of their choosing. It is our hope to discover those exceptional students that not only know their science, but can also effectively communicate it to the scientific community as well as to the general public.

Original articles may be submitted on any subject related to the categories below. The winning entry will be featured on Labroots.com. The other entries will be featured in The Pipette Gazette.

Prizes

– GRAND PRIZE – A LabRoots t-shirt and an article featured at LabRoots.com, shared in LabRoots Newsletters to tens of thousands of people
– SECOND PRIZE – A LabRoots t-shirt
– THIRD PRIZE – Notebook set provided by UT San Antonio
