Every fall, we invite scientists around the world to turn their inoculating loops into paintbrushes (figuratively, of course) and let their creativity run wild. This year’s Creepy Cultures entries were nothing short of spectacular.
From glowing ghosts to microscopic masterpieces, your agar art reminded us just how much imagination lives in the lab. The submissions showed skill, humor, and a deep love of science: all the things that make this contest one of our favorite traditions.
We’re thrilled to share this year’s winning creations.
