The photo of prof. Agnieszka Wacławik taken by Radosław Dąbrowski during her research work won the Wiki Science Competition 2021 under the „Women in Science” category. It will enrich the catalog of free multimedia that will help illustrate Wikipedia and promote science.

In this year’s edition of the Wiki Science Competition 2021 in the category „Women in science, especially women in STEM, portraits of female scientists” the Polish jury awarded a distinction and submitted to the international stage the photo of prof. Agnieszka Wacławik, investigating molecular processes of pregnancy development in mammals. The author of the photo is Radosław Dąbrowski, a photographer living in Targów. He contacted Dr. Wacławik after reading information about her distinction on the TOP 2% list of the most influential scientists in the world.

The Wiki Science Competition is one of the world’s largest international photo contests documenting the world of science. It takes place every 2 years in two stages: national and international. It is aimed at all scientists, scientific institutions and science lovers, and photographers who are close to the idea of promoting and disseminating science in the modern world.

The Wiki Science Competition aims to encourage the creation and sharing of creative works depicting the world of science. The submitted files, which show, for example, research facilities, scientists at work, or research equipment, will help to illustrate the thousands of articles in the various language versions of Wikipedia, thus contributing to the promotion of science, the work of scientists, and the results of scientific research.
