Corona & Education
There is a lot of talk at various universities, colleges, and other places of learning in my region about possibly having only electronic delivery of educational content during the next 4-6 weeks due to the fears of the Corona Virus (Covid-19) pandemic.
I am not sure if that choice will be made and if it will come to pass, but it is worrisome. I am in an age range at risk, but I am not sure what to think, actually. While on-line delivery of educational content can suffice for simple lecture classes (even though face-to-face is still better), it feels especially rough for my laboratory based courses. I am also concerned about my research students as well.
We shall see what comes to pass.

The situation and responses are changing rapidly.
People's lives at risk, people's income uncertain, people's retirement tanking... Students and their lab work seems a minor concern.
Maybe it is time to kick back, light up a pipe and pour a glass of Scotch; and realize that life is chaos and out of our control.
We, including me, always feel that we must be in control; and then a butterfly in South America flaps its wings....
Worry is not good. Sometimes you just have to ride the horse until it tires.
