Despite the damage and carnage, the pandemic accelerated our ingenuity and innovation - and good things happened. Multi-disciplinary collaborations took place across continents, Zoom partnerships developed and vaccine production took off at record speed. Home offices and gyms appeared in garages, people gardened and baked bread. And according to psychologists, 10% of us will undergo PTG (post traumatic growth).


So what good things, if any, will you keep from 2020?
