Tell Us About It:
With pretty much everyone working from home full time now in our department, we've been relying even more heavily than usual on electronic methods of communication and sharing like Slack and Dropbox to stay connected and keep on top of our work. With face-to-face meetings out of the question, we've had to look to new methods of getting together, like WebEx and Zoom. Without the hard work of the RD IT team to install, support, and  train us on these tools, we would all be far more isolated than we already are, and unable to share our ideas or keep in touch with our colleagues. I want to thank them for all they do to keep us going in these challenging times!
