“The best part of teaching is the dialogue with students and when, after a discussion, both parties can go, “Oh, I never thought about it like that before”. Such realizations really let us embrace new things in life. It’s SO HARD to be working in isolation because I miss those face-to-face interactions and discussions (Yes, I miss you).

You will inevitably be feeling a bit confused and ‘discombobulated’ – me too. Life throws lots of stuff at us. History teaches we’ll get through it. So, find comfort and contact in friends and family, even via ZOOM. My best wishes, Mike”.

– Michael Brook, Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology
