None of us will ever forget what we are all living. This will go to the history books of our children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and all the generations coming. Who would have thought that the virus epidemic that started in the province of Hubei back in November 2019 would reach the entire world. Maybe some of us did but most of us might have not thought that this could become a pandemic, affecting every single person in a way or another.

Every human being has the capacity to adapt to any circumstance and we have adapted as well and want to continue doing science! On Thursday, 9th April our PhD student Nancy Gutiérrez Hernández from the ITN PEP-NET Project prepared a Journal Club. The paper entitled “Mitotic Transcription and waves of gene reactivation during mitotic exit” was discussed together with Brigitte Bouman, Paniz Rasooli and Vanessa Treffner. Using skype and the screen sharing tool we could successfully discuss this scientific paper. We will continue having our virtual Journal Clubs every Thursday at 3 PM and in this way continue doing science even during times of COVID-19.
