Working It Out: On Campus Today

Over the past seven months, the Institute’s response to COVID-19 has focused on prioritizing the health and well-being of students, faculty, and staff through a number of preventative measures to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2. These efforts have significantly reduced the number of people physically on campus each day in order to allow others to safely advance the research and education initiatives that are so central to Caltech. A recent call for images of this new normal drew photos of 1) chemistry graduate student Molly McFadden and colleagues in Maxwell Robb’s lab; 2) the entrance to a shared instrument facility with sticky notes on a white board indicating who is inside (maximum capacity: four); 3) a teacher and a preschooler enjoying the sunshine at the Caltech Child Educational Center; 4) the office setup of Computing and Mathematical Sciences Teaching Assistant Professor Konstantin Zuev, ready for fall teaching; 5) painter Steve Benson as he takes care of business; 6) Darrell Goudeau, manager of mail services, at the Caltech post office; 7) an oddly quiet Red Door Marketplace; 8) chemistry graduate student Jake Evans as he records an upcoming online lecture; 9) postdoctoral scholar in geochemistry Eugenia Hyung in the lab; 10) social distancing outside Sherman Fairchild Library.
