2020 tested our resolve, and saw our lives change profoundly. If we take heed of these lessons, can we improve our lives for the better and hold onto the things we value most? These lessons can be the silver lining to all this disruption – and can help us thrive, not merely survive in challenging times. 

In this series, hear from nine UNSW researchers as they explore what we can learn during this time of isolation and change.
