2023 BASIC RESEARCH ART OF SCIENCE SHOWCASE "Everyone's an Artist" "Art provides an opportunity for kaleidoscopic thinking. Each time we shift the lens of our perceptions, we gain new perspectives — and new opportunities for innovation." – Linda Naiman Submission Opens: Monday, August 7, 2023 Submission Closes: Friday, September 15, 2023 2023 marks seventy-one years of basic research innovation supported by the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). Throughout the decades, AFRL/AFOSR has been at the forefront of incredible basic research contributions in science and technology for the Department of the Air Force and the Nation, which include: stealth technology, GPS, the computer mouse, superplastics, infrared sensors, Nobel Award winning lithium batteries, and much more. AFRL/AFOSR has contributed greatly to AFRL's mission to lead the discovery, development and integration of affordable technologies for our air, space and cyberspace forces while successfully supporting AFRL/AFOSR's mission to discover, shape, and champion basic research that profoundly impacts the future Air Force and Space Force. To honor AFRL/AFOSR's 71 years of research innovation and to educate people around the world about the importance of basic research, we invite you to be part of the second annual Art of Science Showcase by submitting your basic research inspired art. Our goal is that your art will reveal the beauty behind many of the basic research inspired innovations past, present and future that continue to support the United States Air Force and Space Force. All are invited to submit entries, but it may be of special interest to artists, AFRL/AFOSR and AFRL grantees, educators, students, and members of the art and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) communities. *Special note to Principal Investigators who have received funding from AFOSR: We encourage you to re-purpose any images that have been part of your AFOSR supported basic research, as artwork. You are also welcome to submit new images, but it is not an obligation of your grant. Instead, it is for fun and for serving as an opportunity for us to highlight the importance of your research with a broader audience. |
