<p class="MsoNormal">However, after going virtual for teaching for the remainder of the semester, Georgetown is putting in effect social distancing for all members of our community. I'm summarizing a bunch of policy documents here in a few words, but the point
is that there will be no more gatherings of Georgetown folks, on and off campus. This includes shutting down on-campus research (with a very few exceptions for our animal facilities - we can't let the animals starve). They're still working on the details so
policy statements are flying around as we speak.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My advise to you is to prepare for the same for your labs, and to prepare for faculty who strongly disagree.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">These are extraordinary times. Our leadership must be willing to take actions for public health reasons first and work on the mitigation later. It is understandable that this ruffles many feathers, but we must practice empathy and kindness
to all. <o:p></o:p></p>
