A few thoughts about running a research lab in the time of COVID. Who are we? A lab of 7 scientists working on how muscle develops and regenerates. Our @NIH-funded work involves daily lab work and experiments that last weeks. To keep operating, we need to be in the lab. 1/12
After a multi-month shutdown, we returned to lab. We always wear masks and gloves and work in isolation whenever possible (different rooms, times). Between experiments, we retreat to small 1-person offices. All meetings are via Zoom (even when we are in adjacent rooms!) 2/12
