Many of these scientists *cannot write a grant*. Many of us are working all day, every day (inc weekends). Grants usually take days - weeks - to prepare. That kind of time is absolutely laughable for #COVID19 researchers at the moment. The lucky among us find a few hours.

I was mostly just amazed at how “connected” the world had become. How easy it was to hop on a plane and be somewhere else. And how it might not be so easy in the future. I also noticed that I was so burnt out. So many of these flights were not necessary. I just wanted to be home.

Anyway, how are you? I’m really excited by what you’re working on! Right now I’m readjusting my whole life to a new reality, and I’m quite jobless (everything was cancelled for me at the end of January due to the virus). If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know!

Oh! I am recalling how it was to grow up. This is what it felt like for me to be a kid. Social anxiety, not allowed out of the house by myself for more than 4 houses up the street, and only in the summer. No siblings. Lots of time to think.
