It has been strange not being able to go in to work and to only have the opportunity to meet with people virtually through apps such as Zoom, but I feel very fortunate to be safe and healthy. This is an update on how things have been going during the last few weeks of the pandemic in Manitoba.
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing day-to-day life everywhere for everyone. Although the plans for the "renaissance" of my lab are on hold, I consider myself very fortunate to have a job that allows me to work from home. Also, as my lab comprises only myself and my PhD student Victor right now, the logistics of shutting down the lab and maintaining frozen cells and samples have been straightforward. You may have noticed that my "paper of the day" entries have been less consistent lately, but I'm getting back on track with this activity and will fill in the gaps for days that are missing papers.
It's hard to believe it's mid-December already! It seems like I just arrived in Manitoba, but the calendar tells a different story. I guess time really does fly when you're having fun!
Most Canadians know Winnipeg’s nickname, “Winterpeg”. Here are some pics to prove that Winnipeg also has summers!
