A Year In Review

2020. The year we will never forget and may wish not to remember. Our researchers at CcaM certainly were challenged. Children were at home, our teaching online, and our data collection suspended or impacted. At CcaM, we took a 'policy-lean' approach to our efforts - maintaining where we could, pausing where we needed to, and slowing down when life necessitated some breathing room. 

But, still, we moved forward. We welcomed new members to our CcaM family. We taught our students, we analyzed our data, and we embraced Open Science with numerous study and data pre-registrations. We also saw much of our in-press work published. We Zoomed, a lot. We were perfectly imperfect in approaching the pandemic, but we stuck together. 2021 brings us hope that this pandemic will pass, but we also know that our research will feel its impact. And that's okay, too. Our goal is to study the world the way it is, and that includes the Covid-19 context. 

For now, we wish all of our followers a restful winter break and a beautiful New Year. And if you are looking for something to read during your winter slumber, might we suggest one of the many articles that we published this year? 

Happy New Year, All!
