The COVID-19 outbreak has led communities to close schools, encourage social distancing and other strategies in order to reduce the spread of the virus. The social isolation that results from being at home and lack of connection to friends and other important figures is stressful, particularly if their families are not supportive of their gender identity. LGBTI people have previously been blamed for disasters, both manmade and natural, and there are scattered reports of this happening in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In some countries, reports suggest an increase in homophobic and transphobic rhetoric. There are also reports of police using COVID-19 directives to attack and target LGBTI organizations. In at least one country, the State of Emergency has been used to propose a decree that would prevent transgender people from legally changing their gender in identity documents. A few countries have put in place restriction of movement based on sex, with women and men allowed to leave their homes on alternate days, which have put non-binary and trans people at risk of heightened discrimination, as they may get stopped and questioned. LGBTQ+ people may be particularly vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. People living with compromised immune systems, including some persons living with HIV/AIDS, face a greater risk from COVID-19. Homeless persons, a population that includes many LGTBI people, are less able to protect themselves through physical distancing and safe hygiene practices, increasing their exposure to contagion. LGBTI people regularly experience stigma and discrimination while seeking health services, leading to disparities in access, quality and availability of healthcare. Laws that criminalize same-sexmuch relations or that target trans persons due to their gender identity or expression, exacerbate negative health outcomes for LGBTI people, as they may not access healthcare services for fear of arrest or violence. Examples of health care discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression have been extensively documented in many countries. This discrimination can elevate the risk for LGBTI people from COVID-19. Given overloaded health systems, treatment of LGBTI people may be interrupted or deprioritized, including HIV treatment and testing, hormonal treatment and gender-affirming treatments for trans people. Decisions about scaling back services should be medically-based and data-driven, and should not reflect a bias against LGBTI people. Due to stay-at-home restrictions, many LGBTI youthsof are confined in hostile environments with unsupportive family members or co-habitants. This can increase their exposure to violence, as well as their anxiety and depression. LGBTI people are more likely to be unemployed and to live in poverty than the general population. Many in the LGBTI community work in the informal sector and lack access to paid sick leave, unemployment compensation, and coverage. Additionally, due to discriminatory paid leave policies that do not cover all genders equally, LGBTI people may not be able to take time off from work to care for family members.

The Internet provides equal access to economic opportunities, education, and social connection. The ability to deliver in a digital world is more important than ever. Complexity, the pace of change, and user expectations (both educators and pupils) are all rising. Amid coronavirus outbreak, schools, colleges, universities and educational institutes have been shut all across the world. Globally, over 2 billion students are out of the classroom. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Investment in remote learning should both mitigate the immediate disruption caused by COVID-19 and establish approaches to develop more open and flexible education systems for the future. On one hand where the e-learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay. But on the other with this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, some are wondering whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the worldwide education market. Topics that we will be going to talk about: • A changing education imperative • Is learning online as effective? • The importance of disseminating knowledge • How to rebuild and imagine the role of face-to-face learning? • The challenges of online learning • How is the education sector responding to COVID-19? • Is digital literacy empowering gender parity? • What are offline and falling behind barriers to internet adoption? • What does this mean for the future of learning? • Ways to preparing millennials for the age of digital transformation. • Digital education’s impact on the lifestyle of educators and pupils. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Our world has changed immensely in the last few weeks and amid the upheaval and distress, interruptions in regular learning schedules in colleges have been an inevitable one. Students and teachers are constantly exploring and adopting new ways to connect, wet labs researches have drifted to in-silico approaches, semester's schedules, projects, exams have all subdued. It seems like Michael Michalko's fascinating idea of "assumption reversal" has come true. The core notions and paragons are turned on their head, there is a reversal provoked by the COVID-19 that have turned out our world upside down. There are so many things we are uncertain about, reasons to be apprehensive, but also reasons and ways to believe we can emerge from it in unprecedented ways. Come and be a part of the webinar on "The Upsidedown World - The Changed Paragon of Education and Research" where we try to learn and understand what the eminent institutes in pharma are doing and discuss ways in which students can foresee what to do in there academic and professional fronts, to keep up now and after the COVID 19! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
