This photo won an honorable mention in the Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge. They were robbed! Grand prize or they’ll rip the judges’ faces off!

They look like they were knitted in green, white, and burgundy yarn, with papoer-mache teeth. Maybe Miss Skatje could help you with a model. heh.

Audrey III?
Sili says
I still say Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

There’s kind of a “when muppets turn on their masters” quality about them.
Brad D says
Cthulhu fhtagn!

Am I the only one thinking “Don’t Panic!”?
Nick Gotts says
Remind me never to get eaten by a squid.
Crudely Wrott says
Wow. Imagine having the inside of your arms lined with Langoliers!
“You cannot escape my embrace, my tender morsel. Never!”
Patricia says
What?! I thought that was a photo of the Molly winners.
*ducks*
Tor A H says
Hehe. They’re hilarious.
Nom nom nom nom

CMurdock says
Two comments saying they look like Cthulhu? Do you even know what Cthulhu’s supposed to look like??? NOTHING like this.
Sili says
Teach the controversy!!

It’s totally The Langoliers.
Sven DiMilo says
False-colored SE micrographs like this piss me off. Once you start making decisions about a “color scheme” it doesn’t count as science any more, in my book.
amphiox says
Don’t be such a curmudgeon, Sven.
If the color scheme was intended to help analyze or convey information, then it might be science. If it was intended to please the eye, then it is art.
This is art. Based on science. What’s wrong with that?
SC says
Did anyone notice the “Visualizing The Bible” honorable mention in the Illustration category? What does that have to do with visualizing science?

Resembles a swarm of Isz from The Maxx.
Skeeve says
Hey I saw that picture a few days ago and my first thought was to send you the link, but after never hearing back from you on the last pic I sent or seeing it here I figured you’d never see the email anyway. You need a super secret atheist email addy.
Prof. Bleen says
Look out–it’s El Chupacalamares! Oh, wait: the squid is administering the sucking, in this case, and is not the victim of it.
Sleeping at the Console says
That’s just an awesome picture. Thanks!
Escuerd says
I had to immediately check the comments to see how many other people thought of the Langoliers when they saw this.
Trish says
Escuerd – I was thinking exactly the same thing. heh
Sven DiMilo says
That was…odd.
I have no problem with “art” of any kind. I just don’t think it’s the same thing as “visualizing science.”
But I’ll cop to the curmudgeon thing.
