<div dir="auto">Dear colleagues,
<div dir="auto">we are crossing uncharted territory. The outbreak of COVID-19 is having a significant impact on our life, health and economy but also on how our society communicates and the scientific communities are also affected by this terrible pandemic.
On the one hand, we must act in complete observance of safety and ethical practices; on the other hand, we must maintain scientific research and knowledge exchange with new lockdown-proof methods and technologies. </div>
