Welcome to Away from the Bench, a podcast where we're going to explore how on earth researchers are attempting to remain productive in unproductive circumstances.

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic many researchers have abandoned their offices and labs and decamped to their own homes to continue working. But how are they trying to simply get stuff done when they can no longer conduct lab based experiments, physically interact with their teams on a daily basis, and have kids and pets climbing over them for attention. How have their daily working lives changed.

I'm David, a PhD student at Edinburgh University in Scotland and I want to find out how everyone else is trying to maintain their productivity, positivity and look after themselves and their families during these uncertain times.

Join me as I chat to researchers at all stages in their careers to ask them "What's your new normal like?"
