For biologic scientists, as for the society in general, the year 2020 was one that few will soon forget. However, in the realm of science, it is possible that it won't be remembered purely, or even mainly, for the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many discoveries related to its causative agent. Even as non-SARS-related research was brought to a near standstill for much of the year, we may in time come to recognize that revolutionary work in other areas of biology was emerging unnoticed under the shadow of the virus.
对于生物科学家以及整个社会而言,2020年是一个很少有人会很快忘记的年份。然而,在科学领域,人们对它的记忆可能并非纯粹地,甚至主要不是因为新冠疫情的出现以及与之病原体相关的众多发现。即使与非典无关的研究在这一年的大部分时间里几乎陷入停滞,但我们最终可能会意识到,在病毒的阴影下,生物学其他领域的革命性工作正在悄然兴起。
