When a group of 14 scientists came together in 2014 to discuss a collaboration, Dr. Avery Broderick knew it was the start of something exciting. What he didn't know was that in just a few years, releasing the first-ever photos of a black hole would place them at the centre of a global phenomenon.

"I don't think any of us knew exactly what would come from establishing the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration but looking around the room, I think we all knew we could achieve amazing things together that we couldn't do alone," said Broderick, a professor of physics and astronomy.
"It was also an exciting day for Waterloo because we played a big role in getting everyone together to make it all happen."
