We at the Streaming Science project want to know: How has COVID-19 impacted the scientific enterprise and scientists' lives?  In this episode, we talk with Dr. Savanna Barry, a regional specialized extension agent based at the UF/IFAS Nature Coast Biological Station in Cedar Key, Florida. Barry elaborates on current projects she is involved with and how her team had to come up with new, creative ways to engage local citizens virtually in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode was made in partnership with the UF/IFAS Office of the Dean for Research.

In this episode of Streaming Science’s COVID-19 Impacts on the Scientific Enterprise podcasts, UF AEC student Karissa Palmer, visits with Dr. Eric Triplett a professor and chair in the department of microbiology and cell science. Join us for a discussion about Dr. Triplett’s research on COVID-19 antibodies and the impact of conducting research due to a global pandemic. This episode was made in partnership with the UF/IFAS Office of the Dean for Research.

We at the Streaming Science project want to know: How has COVID-19 impacted the scientific enterprise and scientists' lives?Some scientists and graduate students had to put their research on hold during the pandemic and shift to working from home. They had to limit lab and field work due to social distancing and preventative guidelines - and after some time, they are able to transition back to the lab and field following new health protocols. In this track, we talk with Dr. AJ Reisinger - Assistant Professor of Urban Soil and Water Quality in the UF/IFAS Department of Soil and Water Sciences at the University of Florida. Reisinger discusses how COVID-19 impacted he and his students' research and work life balance experiences during the spring and summer 2020 semesters.

Join Caroline Storch as she explores the local impacts COVID-19 and how a family-operated blueberry farm is dealing with the devastation. Come with us as we travel to the small town of Dade City, Florida, and talk with the owner and operator of Storch Blueberries and see how she keeps it positive in these difficult times!
