Stanford Humanities Center
Kevin Ly, a PhD student in bioengineering, took the prize-winning image.
The Stanford Humanities Center's Research Workshop Fiber Optics: Plant Fiber Materials and Media was featured in the Doerr School of Sustainability's popular photo contest, an annual opportunity for Stanford community members to share their perspectives and artistry.
In the photo by PhD student Kevin Ly (bioengineering)—which won second place in the Action and Impact in the Field category—Fabiola Santiago, president of the nonprofit Mi Oaxaca, watches her son plant an Agave sisalana seedling at the O'Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm. It was taken during a Prakash Lab co-sponsored event with the Humanities Center workshop.
The Doerr School received a record 495 submissions to this year's contest. The images flowed in from undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, staff, and alumni, who portrayed people and the planet through the lenses of their cameras and phones.
