      Yep. I have some papers under review but nothing like a normal year. This is supposed to be my sabbatical semester to work on a book that requires travel to (closed) archives. And my lab is shut down indefinitely. This is going to hurt for years.https://twitter.com/kelly_j_baker/status/1319077228844617732 …

      I feel your pain. My lab is also in effect shut down as well, and I no longer have anyone working for m me. The prospects for funding to reopen it are dim.

      Suspect there will be a lot of us in the same boat.

      I fear you’re right. The thing is, as an MD/PhD, I can “go clinical” and just mainly take care of patients. I feel for basic scientists who don’t have that fallback.

      Of course, such a radical change in my career path and structure so late in my career will be very difficult, but not as difficult as the situation scientists who don't have that fallback face.

      On the other hand, what causes me the most personal stress in my career is not taking care of patients. That can be stressful, obviously, but I have decades of experience and usually know what to do.

      Writing grants to fund my lab and trying generate preliminary data with resources more constrained than any time since I was a young assistant professor first starting out, on the other hand, is causing me enormous stress.

          It’s a huge challenge. I’m not ready to give up, but it is humbling to be back where I started 21 years ago.
