<br>
As the world is coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, many journalists and political pundits are wondering about the societal and psychological changes that could follow the current crisis. To get a better picture of <strong><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">how
</span></strong></span><strong><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">cognitive scientists<span style="color:#111111"> think about pandemic-related cultural change</span></span></strong><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#111111">,
we designed a short <strong><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">8-10 min survey</span></strong> asking social scientists (faculty and graduate students) about their pandemic-related forecasts now. After collecting the data, we hope to provide
a summary to interested scientists and the general public.<br>
<br>
This is a short survey, on topics that may be on many people's minds. <strong><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">We sent out a similar survey a month ago, if you participated in that, we'd appreciate your participation again.</span></strong><br>
