Summary
A biological sciences PhD candidate at Queen's University, Haolun "Allen" Tian, used a camera drone to capture an award-winning photo showing researchers in a small boat on a slime-green-covered lake (Dog Lake, Ontario). The image juxtaposes human smallness against our massive environmental impact on freshwater ecosystems. The photo was taken during a 2021 water sampling project and won a Scientists at Work photo award.
