This month we press Ctrl + Alt + Doritos on the year-that-shall-not-be-named and dip our toes into 2021. Also, we’re joined by mitochondria biology PhD researcher & science communicator Maria O’Hanlon (@abioblog) to chat about fresh starts and how to hit life’s refresh button when things aren’t working out.
