Check out the latest in the #ConnectingDuringCovid series from Springer Nature!

Today we would like to introduce you to Mohammed Yahia, Executive Editor of Nature Research in the Middle East. This is his story of staying connected with his community since the beginning of the pandemic.

"Science journalists love getting together over good food and better drink (especially if there is a lot of it). That’s one of the first things I learned when I attended my first World Conference of Science Journalists back in 2007. Since then, I have attended the conference regularly up to 2019 when I was the president of the World Federation of Science Journalists. We chose Medellin, Colombia, as the venue for the next conference – but the world changed six months later.
Conferences came to a grinding halt and no one was travelling anymore. For me, conferences were an opportunity to meet experts and fellow science journalists, and to talk to our readers and clients. But most importantly, it was a chance to make friends from all over the world.
Like everyone else though, we had to adapt to this new reality. While lockdowns kept us inside our homes, screens became our window out to friends. We started hosting virtual dinners, where we would prepare some food, sit at a table and put our computers on the far side with both our cameras taking in the whole table and the people around it.
We would talk and laugh and share all the gossip we were missing. Some of these were during Ramadan, a holy month of fasting for Muslims, and people from all faiths (and no faiths) would gather to break the fast with friends.
With huge, 1000+ people conferences out of the picture, we decided to focus on smaller, more intimate meetings. We started having gatherings of maybe half a dozen people. This often would lead to richer, more engaging conversation. Larger virtual meetings can become rather unruly and leave one stressed out, but smaller gatherings actually allowed everyone to be better listeners, as virtual conference etiquette (and technology limitations) decreased the amount of people talking over each other.
Finally, the extra free time, and the way technology allowed easier connection across borders, was a chance to think more about giving back to the community. Several of us started a programme to train young journalists who wanted to get into science journalism. We started setting up training bootcamps, online training sessions, and writing training blogs. I am still amazed by how every person I approached to contribute to these efforts did not hesitate for a second.
Can these virtual events replace real life interaction? Definitely not. I can’t wait to be able to travel safely, and see all my friends and colleagues from around the world again. But till then, I am extremely grateful for all the people who, despite everything, are still #ConnectingDuringCOVID."

Read these relatable, poignant insights from the newest #ConnectingDuringCovid series by Springer Nature!

#sciam #covid19

As labs and offices closed down last year and conferences moved online, keeping in touch with their communities has become increasingly difficult for our editors. Today Laura Helmuth, Editor in Chief of Scientific American, shares her story of #ConnectingDuringCovid.

"What a decade this year has been! It’s hard to remember how we used to connect with our communities. I have some hazy memories of conferences and cheese plates and jet lag and … handshakes? Did we really used to shake hands? I became editor in chief of Scientific American a year ago, and there are four main communities I’ve been trying to connect with: my staff, most of whom I haven’t met in person; scientists; journalists; and Scientific American’s audience – which we hope is basically anybody.

Our staff members have been working extraordinarily hard to cover the pandemic, the racial justice reckoning, the health and science angles of politics and policy, the climate crisis, and all the mind-bending discoveries that inspire a sense of awe even in terrible times. We have a lot of video conferences, and to ease the burden, we’ve implemented meeting-free Fridays, 50-minute hours, no off-hours emails, ultra-flexible hours, and lots of reminders to over-communicate, forgive mistakes in yourself and others, and be extra kind.
I connect with scientists and journalists primarily on social media and webinars. The New York Academy of Sciences, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, lots of universities, AAAS’s SciLine, the National Association of Science Writers, MIT’s Knight Science Journalism program, The Open Notebook and many more groups are hosting regular events with low barriers to entry and some really excellent discussions.
We’ve been hosting webinars at Scientific American and they’ve been a blast – our staff really enjoy having these conversations, which typically involve one of our editors, an expert who has written for us, and questions from our audience. I love hearing from readers on social media, and we do pay attention to replies and comments and letters to the editor, even when they’re respectfully critical. (The trolls and harassers are a huge problem that platforms need to try harder to control.)

The pandemic has shown that misinformation is literally deadly. People have died who would be alive today if they had humane, evidence-based leadership from the beginning rather than lies, xenophobia and conspiracy theories. Science and health journalists have tried to save people’s lives by providing clear, timely, memorable, compelling, actionable information about the virus and how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and all of us.
Thanks to everyone who has tried to connect with others during the pandemic, and thank you for creating, supporting, and sharing trustworthy journalism and scientific findings. These virtual connections are so powerful and important.”
