When first news reports of a novel Coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2, spread around the globe not much more than a year ago, not many of us took notice. In the following months it was emails and calls from students, colleagues, and friends in the affected regions that made us aware of the scale of what was emerging. Much has changed since then, our personal lives have been turned upside down, travel has all but stopped, research has been impacted as access to laboratories has been restricted, and conferences needed to be cancelled or adapt quickly.

不到一年前，当有关新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）的首次新闻报道在全球传播时，我们中没有多少人注意到。在接下来的几个月里，来自受影响地区的学生、同事和朋友的电子邮件和电话让我们意识到了正在发生的事情的规模。从那时起，发生了很多变化，我们的个人生活发生了翻天覆地的变化，旅行几乎停止了，由于进入实验室受到限制，研究受到影响，会议需要取消或迅速适应。
