While science and research during the Covid-19 pandemic have been in the spotlight like never before, we almost exclusively see PIs and professors whose voices are amplified and broadcasted while the essential work that early career researchers contribute to increase our knowledge mostly remains invisible to the public. The Leibniz Postdoc Network blog series highlights the work of postdocs who are or have been working on a pandemic-related topic in short form interviews.
