Like other faculty at Iowa State University, Jelena Kraft and Carly Manz from genetics, development and cell biology (GDCB) originally thought they would be converting two weeks’ worth of lessons after spring break 2020 to online classes. Things were constantly changing with COVID-19, however, and two weeks quickly became the rest of the spring 2020 semester and then more.

Kraft and Manz reflect on those early days of switching in-person classes to online ones in the July 2021 issue of BioCY News.
