My life changed a lot because of the pandemic, not all in the worse, in fact, but yes, the travels were also heavily restricted. Luckily, I got the vaccine early and I still managed to travel around here (Greece and Bulgaria and of course Romania). I still love science communication, so I am going to write about that, my life is not that important to other people :D
All my work was from home since it all started, had to leave the aviation job cause many governments redirected funds from aviation to the medical system, and I also had to almost suspend my consultancy work.
But I have found a similar job to what I was doing, at Ubisoft and I am having a blast. Maybe I can spread the word about STEM, here, too. Many passionate people around, that's for certain.
All in all, life is good. About decaying.. I know perfectly what you are saying. We will recover as the spring comes.
Cheers!
