COVID-19 results in the suspension of life all over the world. Universities suspended their academic activities except for online courses for undergrad and grad students. However, PhD students in both biochemistry and molecular biology fields must hold their experiments at the laboratories. Even under these extreme circumstances, the academic journey of a master's or PhD student should not be stopped; on contrary, they need to use these times to improve their knowledge related to their fields. Therefore, they can turn this COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity for themselves.
新冠疫情导致全球生活暂停。大学暂停了学术活动，不过为本科生和研究生开设了在线课程。然而，生物化学和分子生物学领域的博士生必须在实验室进行实验。即便在这些极端情况下，硕士或博士生的学术之旅也不应停止；相反，他们需要利用这些时间来提升与自身领域相关的知识。因此，他们可以将这次新冠疫情危机转化为自身的机遇。
