ICLE employees went fully remote on March 19, 2020, and we have been working from home (WFH) since. Every day our department has a daily check-in, and every day, I share with my colleagues an interesting photograph, idea, or website that in some way helped me get through sheltering in place and WFH. Here are a few of my favorites.
- Check out What Did Hubble See on Your Birthday? Then take a look at the 30 images in 30 years …. Humbling and right sizing.
- This article about functioning communities in the midst of COVID-19 is inspirational.
- This video of stunt women can start your day with a POW.
- Here are 50 Awesome Facts (About Everything) (i.e., the calcium in our bones and the iron in our blood come from ancient explosions of giant stars)
- Play 90’s arcade games without having to dig for quarters.
- Take a 3D tour of Pharaoh Ramesses VI Tomb.
- Help Shaun, Shirley, and Timmy the sheep find their way home or watch the world’s most relaxing video.
- Starlings fly in murmuration … this is one of the most beautiful videos I’ve seen of the event.

Now this is screen time I don’t have to feel guilty about.
