Behind the Lab Coats: Five Captivating Shots of Scientists at Work
Nature's 2026 Scientist At Work photo contest selects five winning images showing researchers in action—from Gunnar Hartmann’s overall-winner migration of the Waldrapp ibis across Europe, to underwater coral research in Saudi Arabia, whale‑shark sampling in Australia, algal-bloom work on a Canadian lake using eDNA, and a UV-lit mosquito study in Indiana—celebrating science across sky, sea and lab, with each winner receiving £500 and publication in Nature.
