September was apparently a good month to get creative in the research community. Bioversity International received nearly 200 submissions for the photo competition Women and agricultural biodiversity. They chose to showcase the pictures on Facebook and the photos with the most likes were preselected for the final round of the contest. All the beautiful photos can be seen here.
