If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? - Albert Einstein.   One accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions - Grace Hopper.   Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm - Hippocrates.   The threat is the virus, not the people. - UN Human Rights, Office of the High Commissioner.   In these unprecedented and uncertain times we must get used to the new normal, which is important, now more than ever. Because after all, we are all in this together and are in uncharted waters. Please consider this quote through a different lens. - Gavin Pereira.
