On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO 2020) declared the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak to be a pandemic (Viner et al. 2020; WHO 2020). Over the last six months, the COVID-19 pandemic has generated major challenges for society and the global higher education (Crawford et al. 2020) and medical (Chatterjee et al. 2020) communities, among others. Within this scope and having read the recent comments published in Webbia 75: 3-4 by the Editor-in-Chief, Riccardo M. Baldini, I couldn’t resist offering my modest opinion based on my own experiences as a result of the disruption of activities due to the new coronavirus. In this note, I particularly follow up on Baldini’s observations on how this epidemic has disrupted our society and changed our careers and professional endeavors in plant systematics and accessing natural history collections. In order to keep this note concise and in correspondence with Baldini’s communication, I’ll focus on some of the adverse effects and benefits that the COVID-19 epidemic has brought to our personal and professional lives in the herbarium and the field.
