SEMINAR: A SOCIAL SCIENCE RESPONSE TO ISOLATION IN COVID-19 TIMES

Researchers have suddenly found doors closed to work internationally and unable to reach their targeted communities.

This is a crisis like no other. We need to think collectively about the various ways that researchers can creatively respond to this situation.
