A few months ago, a new term cropped up on Twitter to describe an all-too-common phenomenon at academic institutions: a dude wall. In science departments, these walls honor historical figures by portraying retired faculty, previous heads of an institution, or even just preeminent scientists in a field.

The contest was broken down into three areas: undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers.
