The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will have a negative impact on Early Career Researchers (ECRs) within the field of pediatric pain and in general is still unclear, but it is likely to be far reaching and may disproportionality affect women. Yet, there is also great opportunity to take advantage of the rapid adaptions to working life that we have all undertaken during the pandemic. In particular, continuing to have online options for conference attendance I think will have a positive impact on ECRs, and in particular female ECRs, now and in the future. Moreover, the pediatric pain research community is relatively small and highly international; by enabling wider participation in our conferences we will diversify our research output and expedite our aim of providing better treatment of pediatric pain.
新冠疫情对儿科疼痛领域及总体上的早期职业研究人员（ECRs）产生负面影响的程度仍不明确，但可能影响深远，且可能对女性产生不成比例的影响。然而，我们在疫情期间都对工作方式进行了快速调整，这也带来了巨大的机遇。特别是，我认为继续保留会议的线上参与选项将对早期职业研究人员，尤其是女性早期职业研究人员，在当下及未来产生积极影响。此外，儿科疼痛研究领域规模相对较小且具有高度国际性；通过让更多人能够参与我们的会议，我们将使研究成果更加多样化，并加快实现我们为儿科疼痛提供更好治疗的目标。
