We start this month with an inspiring Personal View from six early- career researchers who dropped everything and moved to Milton Keynes [1] . For those of you not familiar with UK topography, this is certainly not an everyday occurrence, although nothing about the last 5 months has been ordinary. These six young microbiologists and life scientists, thrown together to form one of the teams in the UK Lighthouse Labs set up as a response to an urgent need to increase corona- virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing capacity, recount what it was like to be involved in this epic effort. The team comprising Fatima Ulhuq (@Fatimaaa_U), Sophia Berry (@DrSophiaBerry), Lucy Kelly (@micro_lucy), Ben Stansfield (@StansfieldBen), Anna Deal (@Annacadeal) and Harriet Lester, emphasize the strong feeling of purpose and com- munity that was quickly created, knowing that they were helping a national effort. This was particularly poignant for Harriet, who had lost her mother to the disease shortly after she had agreed to join the project. It is a gripping read and I highly recommend it to you. Two other young microbiologists have also written about their experiences, Ellie Boardman (@ellierboardman) for the Microbiology Society and Adri- enne Adele Cox (@AdrienneACox) for The Biologist. These young scientists and many of their colleagues deserve our recognition and thanks for their sterling work and have likely forged friendships that will last for decades.
