COVID‐19 pandemic perspectives: A scientific silver lining?	2020-09-28		.txt	text/plain	1447	95	51	This forum examines potentially positive changes that have occurred within the scientific community amid the chaotic pandemic. In forcing scientists away from their lab benches, COVID‐19 has created time and space for more conversations about science and experimental design. Amid the many negative impacts COVID-19 has had on science and the scientific community, are there positives that have been overlooked? These observations suggest that even after this pandemic is over, prioritizing videoconferencing over teleconferencing for scientific communications will enhance involvement and interaction across our field. Of course, transforming the scientific community into an inclusive, equitable, problem-solving task force requires that we carry this commitment beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Staying connected over distances, collaborating with scientists outside of our disciplines, valuing time for planning and reviewing data, and affirming our commitment to diversity within our ranks should not end when the COVID-19 pandemic is over.	./cache/cord-283663-odrkfguc.txt	./txt/cord-283663-odrkfguc.txt
