SCIENCE ON DISPLAY Puget Sound’s science, math, and computer science departments recently held their annual Research Dessert Contest, featuring creative—and delicious—edible representations of each lab’s specialized research. Entries included a passionfruit-flavored round-bottomed flask tart utilizing the 12 principles of green chemistry, a chocolate-vanilla-orange cake displaying the convergent subduction zone of the Cascade Mountains, and more. Pictured is “a cotta’ bove the rest” panna cottas from the Scharrer/Crane lab, with vanilla panna cotta gels with raspberry and lime coulis representing pink gels caused by cobalt and green gels caused by copper, respectively. The bubble sugar toppers represent the colorful nematic phase of liquid crystals, complete with the bubbles sometimes seen in microscopy.
