• The identity of caregiver of young children or other family members is also often in conflict with our identity as scientists. The time spent doing scientific work felt very precious to me when my child was young and day care hours were the limit ofmy time available to work. Providing care for an elderly parent or someone who is ill or disabled can be overwhelming and is often at odds with time spent doing scientific work. During the pandemic, many parents with young children found themselves in an impossible situation with no support and multiple identities merging and requiring the same chunks of time. For some families, the burden of chiidcare fell disproportionately on women, and the consequences of the pandemic on the careers of young female scientists is a major concern. This raises the question of how to make sure that the peer review process benefits from the diversity of opinions of the scientific community while recognizing that the burdens of life as a scientist are not shared equitably.
