The runner in me is tempted to say 'here we go again' where the biologist in me thinks 'we're just getting started here!' Most of the world is now very much entrenched in the second wave. It sucks and restrictions are going back into place. There have been numerous pandemics in the past and all... Continue Reading →
Weekend Motivation 136
