We are also seeing how people respond to the world burning down: looking out for themselves or finding solidarity to maintain something that can work for a broader array of people. How science and scientists respond to disruption has always been a microcosm of our larger society’s response

I had to fly in work clothes recently and by "work clothes" I mean a skirt with an elastic waist, a blouse that is not at all restrictive and a cardigan that is too big on me and I swear I almost died
