    A look back at the major initiatives, the funding and awards garnered, and how a community mobilized to respond to and combat COVID-19.

    In recent years, we have taken a moment each December to highlight some of the research that has captured our attention over the previous 12 months.

    2020 was not a normal year. It challenged us, tested us, and saw our research community pivot in creative and unexpected ways to respond to the global crisis. Through all of this, research prominence remained a key driver for Queen鈥檚 and our researchers continued to make national and international headlines for their discoveries and award-winning scholarship.

    Join us as we review some of the highlights of 2020.

    Algal blooms appear as smears of green slime from the ground, but are beautiful pieces of abstract art from an aerial view, painted by wind and sunlight. My research takes me to lakes on the Canadian Shield affected by blooms, where I photograph them with a drone while assistants help me collect water samples. By uncovering when, where, and why they appear, we hope to restore some of Canada鈥檚 most beautiful lakes to their pristine states.
