Has the pandemic impacted your research, scholarship or creative works? If so, University Marketing and Communications wants to share your story in a series of guest blogs on the University research blog, Unscripted.
From closed labs to canceled concerts and gallery shows, to animal and human subject research restrictions, COVID-19 altered many parts of the research, scholarship and creative works ecosystem. Nearly all of the people who work within this area were affected both those who actively produce these works and those who support their production.
The blog series is part of an effort to acknowledge, support and rebuild robust research, scholarship and creative works at Michigan Tech. It will focus on six to eight separate stories, sharing an individual s specific challenge and potential or existing campuswide solutions. The series as a whole is part archive, part brainstorm and is primarily about community listen
