So grab a tea and a biscuit … Working Collaborating During Coronavirus: The Impact of COVID-19 on the Nature of Work - apparently we are having more, but shorter meetings and work more hours.

rjp inspired me with his random roundups to put a bit more work in my Friday Links. This might have been a big mistake, as it takes me quite a bit more time to put this together and it might be even harder to read.
