Researchers are one of the least likely groups to be seriously disadvantaged. It counts for compassion shown to those less fortunate. Whether it is as a group leader providing strength, comfort, compassion, flexibility, and direction to your team or as a graduate student providing the same to fellow graduate students or undergraduates, it all counts. You do not need to be a leader to show leadership. Rule 2: Show leadership in goal setting and understanding Do so via social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, to disseminate useful information to the general public and reinforce #StayAtHome. Use your training and knowledge wisely and effectively, allowing all to benefit. Science-seriously undervalued in many parts of the world in recent years-has almost literally overnight become what the general population craves to understand, so as to grasp their predicament. Use your scientific knowledge to influence others as best you can with facts and solid arguments, never shying away from clearly indicating what we do not know (that’s just as much a part of science as what we do know). It can be read anywhere but so can false or misleading claims. Take every opportunity to use your scientific understanding to explain the importance of protective clothing, isolation, and appropriate hygiene. Review the literature and the public data being produced, understand, and explain to others the need for seemingly onerous measures such as social distancing you can use past pandemics as your guide. More likely, your scientific training is in a variety of other fields. You may be a researcher who studies the basic biochemistry of infectious diseases or who performs pandemic modeling-we need all your dedication and expertise as we collectively work through this threat. Rule 1: Believe in your own science and influence views of others
