From the Nominator
A feature about a group of veteran Loyola University Chicago coronavirus researchers and clinicians— experts in a field that was once considered niche before the COVID-19 pandemic upended life as we knew it. We tried to understand what it felt like for these scientists to work under unexpectedly intense conditions while the rest of the university was marooned at home.
From the Judges
Excellent work striking balance between bragging and educating. A difficult topic was explained in very easy terms.
