Despite the stressful situation, my field is more relevant than ever. As a student of biotechnology, I always had a keen interest in microbiology and viral studies. And I see my field gaining a lot of momentum right now: healthcare companies and professionals are pushing day in and day out to find a treatment and a cure for COVID-19. That’s true at Penn as well: my research lab is involved with COVID-19 research and, despite the uncertainty, I am very glad that I get the opportunity to contribute in a small way to the effort to combat this pandemic here in the United States and back home in India.
COVID-19 has been a massive global calamity. It has taken lives and challenged some of the world’s strongest nations and institutions. It also led to a major financial and economic crisis for several industries and countries.
But looking on the positive side, it has taught us some really important lessons. Firstly, we’ve been reminded to value human life everywhere. Wars for power and control seem more meaningless than ever. Second, this pandemic has also helped reduce global pollution. With fewer cars on streets and fewer airplanes in the sky, the earth is getting a moment to to heal. Third, this life-changing pandemic is a true lesson in disguise for my generation. It has taught us to value the small things in life which we take for granted like good health, beautiful nature, and the opportunity to enjoy both freely.
