Over one year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything for graduate students. We were all introduced to a different world of research and communication, held back by lab and class restrictions, prevention of in-person evaluations and tests, and limiting our access to resources such as books, equipment, and computer programs. We all experienced changes that have both benefited and hindered our abilities to become the best of who we can be. Some students became fallen soldiers who lost the momentum and motivation to conduct research at a rate they could maintain while being in-person, while others thrived staying at home and kept in a safer and less crowded environment.
In this episode of #GradLife, hosts Gavin Tolometti, Danica Facca, and Laura Muñoz Baena talk about their experiences with the pandemic and how it has effected their research progress and lifestyle. Who is a fallen soldier? What did everyone miss out on because of COVID-19? Do we think the virtual education system will keep some aspects of learning for when we go back in person? All questions discussed in this episode.
