new academic term has started in much of the world, but the return to studies came with disruption from the COVID-19 outbreak and a surge in infections in many regions. Many universities have welcomed students and researchers back to campus-but have implemented unprecedented safety and social-distancing measures, which often hinder teaching and laboratory work. And despite these, campus outbreaks are a major concern worldwide. Remote instruction has become the norm in many places. And for those who had already returned to the lab and adapted their work procedures because of the pandemic, the return of teaching brings an increased burden as they try to balance safety with the needs of students. Maintaining research necessities such as animal lineages can also be a struggle under the control measures. "Even in labs that are open, research is restricted," says Jamal Nasir, a geneticist at the University of Northampton, UK, who is returning to his lab after six months away. Nature looks how academics in four countries are coping during the pandemic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
