<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">As the world is coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are wondering about the societal and psychological changes that could follow the current crisis. To get a better picture of how
researchers think about pandemic-related cultural change, I designed a short 12-15 min survey asking cognitive scientists and other academics to provide forecasts for a post-pandemic world. After collecting the data, we will provide a summary to interested
scientists and the general public.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">This is a short survey on scientists, on a topic that may be on many people's minds. It follows on similar initiatives my colleagues and I did at the beginning of the pandemic last April.
