On the “team” page of many academic websites, it is customary to find a photo with the PI of the research group surrounded by many supervised researchers, often in a relaxed outdoor setting. We believe that such a representation conveys an artificial image of a large group being a goal in itself, indirectly encouraging an attitude of seeking funding for its own sake. Instead, we prefer to show an image of a truly artificial crowd of PhD students that were synthetically generated with the Image Quilting algorithm (from this very interesting tutorial).
