The past two years have brought remarkable shifts in the ways that researchers connect, communicate, and collaborate with one another and with the public and policymakers. The pandemic-driven shift towards virtual work and events has presented researchers with both opportunities for and challenges to participation, collaboration, and sharing.
Dr. Anindita Bhadra, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences and Associate Dean of International Relations and Outreach at
IISER Kolkata, will discuss the impact and future implications of these developments on researchers and their communication and collaboration practices. As the immediate past co-chair of the
Global Young Academy, Dr. Bhadra will spotlight how early career researchers can carry pandemic practices forward to continue to improve accessibility and equitable participation in science.
