curve of infections and hospitalizations, we also did our best to maintain our educational community from a distance. We adapted to new technologies and new ways to relate, and by the end of the semester many of us who had never run a videoconference or managed a transcontinental group project became experts at digital communication and distance learning. It was not easy, in the context of mourning and uncertainty, but we continued our work and completed the year.In this issue of Prism, you can read
