    What does a scientist do, where do they work, and what do they look like? Nature marked its 150th anniversary in 2018 by introducing a weekly photo essay profiling a scientist in their workplace. Since then, the Where I Work section has showcased more than 200 scientists from more than 70 countries at work in labs, during fieldwork, running companies, funding agencies, treating patients and teaching children. The photographs, now exhibited in King’s Cross, London, depict and celebrate the diversity of science and scientists.
