VISUALIZATION

Klaus Schulten and Emad Tajkhorshid of the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology earned a first place award in the illustration category of the 2004 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. They were honored for their scientific visualization of water permeation through aquaporins. The Challenge is an annual international competition created to recognize outstanding achievement in use of graphics media to illustrate research processes and results. It is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The winners are published in the Sept. 24 issue of Science and in the journal's electronic edition "Science Online."
