In part 2 of this episode, we’ll explore the theme of cooperation further with two more stories, from a volunteer and an organizer.

Our first story is from neuroscientist (and Story Collider senior producer!) Paula Croxson. Longing for connection, Paula decides to volunteer at a local hospital, despite her anxiety about the risks.

In our second story, organizer Kiani Conley-Wilson struggles to figure out how she can effect change during the pandemic.
