Meet the leaders who shepherded science through a challenging year
Take a moment to think back to March, 2020, a little over a year ago. The World Health Organization had just declared COVID-19 a pandemic. People running research institutes across the world were scrambling to gather information while crafting plans and making decisions that would impact the future of science.
In this episode of Lab in the Time of Coronavirus, we sat down with three leaders and administrators tasked with piloting the Zuckerman Institute through the storm. Join us for a behind-the-scenes peek at the balancing act they faced as the world locked down: trying to keep scientists safe while keeping facilities running to prevent years of research from disappearing. Learn about how the crisis surfaced issues of equity while offering up new models for organizing communities in science.
