Abstract
This panel was hosted by the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA) 2021 conference, held online.
Abstract: Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic upended our lives. We were forced to abruptly transition our research, our teaching, and even our scientific gatherings to a virtual format. This transition showed the need for new technologies, it revealed inequalities and suggested opportunities. Today, even as universities start to tentatively open up for in-person activities, the future remains uncertain. This Panel addresses the important questions: What will the future look like? What will be the long-term effect on research, publications, teaching and learning, and gatherings of the scientific community? How can we guide this change towards creating a better future? The panelists will take a deep dive on the consequences and opportunities of this virtual shift, as well as discuss strategies and new technologies that were developed during this year.
