Dear Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives Community,

For nearly two years, researchers and trainees have had to adjust to the new realities of remote teaching and learning, limited laboratory and facility access and have made a collective effort to protect each other by masking and social distancing. As Â鶹AV resumes in-person activities, we are optimistic that the worst of the pandemic is behind us; however, we are also aware that individual experiences during this time have varied considerably across members of our community.
