Excited to share my latest published images for Nature. I photographed Dr. Lindonne Telesford, a public-health researcher, associate lecturer and assistant dean at St. George’s University in Grenada, West Indies.

In the photos, Dr. Telesford is measuring, watering and tending to green-bean plants in an experiment from her team at the request of Grenada’s government.⁠

The initiative hopes to improve agricultural production in Grenada.
