Where I Work is an award-winning photography feature from the journal Nature. It celebrates the many roles and types of research undertaken by scientists globally, and challenges stereotypical perceptions of what a scientist does and what they look like.

A selection of the portraits is now on display as a free outdoor exhibition across King’s Cross, London.
