ASTROMOVES during the COVID Pandemic

Orion image with scientists as major stars.

While doing the interviews with astrophysicists and other scientists, they wanted to talk about what was happening to them during the Pandemic. As a result, I have what maybe the first set of interviews with astrophysicists that were collected during the Pandemic. More than half of the 43 scientists interviewed agreed to be features in ASTROMOVES documentaries, the other half are anonymous appearing in articles in the statistics but only quoted using their pseudonyms. I try to make sure that all of my articles are open access. Here is The Ways that the COVID Pandemic Amplified Inequalities in Astrophysics published in 2024.

Here is the documentary film focused on experiences during COVID:

The Scientists featured are: Deatrick Foster, Gui Franzmann, Emily Freeland, Elizabeth George, Tana Joseph, Katie Mack, Bryan Mendez, Jan-Uwe Ness, Daniel Perley, Misha Paramanov and Ricardo Schiavon.
