Neuroscientist, improvisor and friend, Nacho Sanguinetti, sheds light on what life is like for him, his family, and the people of Uruguay during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Nacho explores the general atmosphere of the country, explaining how the positive mood can be potentially harmful, but how the government is successfully reaching communities outside of the capital of Montevideo. He goes on to share how corona is affecting his own work as a neuroscientist and how he has redirected his attention to helping fellow scientists analyze data coming out of South America.
