A picture is worth a thousand words… and maybe a prize!

The RQR congratulates Céline Augière, PhD, from Clémence Belleannée’s lab, whose microscopy image has been selected as one of the 20 finalists in the 16th edition of the “La preuve par l’image” contest, organized by Acfas in partnership with Espace pour la vie.

This prestigious competition highlights both the scientific rigor and visual power of research images, showcasing each year original photographs produced by scientists working in Canadian research institutions.

Céline’s submission reveals the unexpected beauty of the microscopic world while drawing attention to often-overlooked issues in reproductive health. Her work powerfully underscores the importance of fundamental research in understanding male infertility and in developing male contraceptives.

We invite you to discover this remarkable work and to support Céline by voting for her image (Image 10) on the official contest website.
