Talk about some of the things that have changed most about the world since the pandemic began.

Well, for one, we're all far more accustomed to being on Zoom. In some ways, this has been great--I have been able to attend conferences around the world, and groups everywhere are putting on webinars that they would not have otherwise. So the pandemic has brought us much greater access to each other, even though it's through a screen. Obviously, there is the down side to this--much less human contact all around with our friends. I know it's stressful for parents, and it's been hard for parents to get their work done, some of my friends with little kids say their children have never been happier--they get to stay home with their parents all day! No day care. No having to get up early and leave the house. So maybe for the little kids some of this will turn out to be okay. They'll remember it as a special time where Mom and Dad or Mom and Mom were home ALL THE TIME!
