Grateful for the opportunity to discuss COVID journaling, archiving, and memorialization this AM on WNPR's Where We Live, together with Kristin Urquiza of the important group @markedbycovid.bsky.social.

How we remember the COVID-19 pandemic
Over a million people in the United States alone have died from COVID-19. Today, we hear of efforts to commemorate these deaths, and ensure that the history of the COVID-19 pandemic is not forgotten.

Exhibition website is at https://picturingthepandemic.org/. Image shows key exhibit banner for the Pandemic Journaling project exhibition, Picturing the Pandemic, in the entrance to the University of Connecticut's Babbidge Library. Banner text reads: Thinking about five years of COVID. Let’s ask the big questions. Why did most of us not die? Science. Where are scientists made? In our schools and universities. Science is slow, and costly, and imperfect. It also saved — and saves — lives. Yet the past five years have seen a rise in skepticism and anger at the scientific community. How did we get here? Five years of COVID, five years of PJP The Pandemic Journaling Project is many things. It’s an online journaling platform. A community engaged project. A quiet space to remember and reflect. It’s also science. How has PJP been able to chronicle the pandemic? Through investments in the common good: universities, libraries, museums and historical societies, community-based organizations. Through the investments we — in the US and around the world — make in each other, in our communities, and in the future. Will we have these resources going forward?
