Abstract:
The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has spread worldwide, leading to the deaths of millions and changing the way we live; we all hope to see the end of the pandemic soon. Nonetheless, an urgent need for medical interventions led to unprecedented and focused research efforts to translate scientific knowledge to new therapeutic and preventative interventions. Procedures were simplified, and new norms were established to expedite high-quality scientific output. We do hope that these changes will be adopted and streamlined to advance science in the future.
