COVID-19 has impacted our life and livelihoods, economy and environment, society and Science. Many researchers are not able to conduct already planned field trips, attend prefixed meetings and conferences, and forced them to confine at home due to the lockdown. To engage with scientists, researchers and society, GIIS started a Monday webinar series. GIIS researchers and invited speakers present their research on a variety of topics related to COVID in the webinar series.
