From neon mosquitoes to winged migrations, top images captured by scientists
June 11, 2026
"It looks like I'm traveling through space, doesn't it?" asks Lee Haines, a vector biologist at the University of Notre Dame and the person peering into the microscope in the image. "I am looking at a mosquito that has taken a sugar meal that has been spiked with a drug," she says.
Shayanta Chowdhury, the photographer and a physical chemist at the University of Notre Dame, was pleased to see his image elevating Haines' science. "Some people think scientists are in their ivory towers doing their own research and it doesn't really benefit or impact society as much," he says. "But I think it does and being able to use art to showcase that in science is powerful."
