For the Curriculum Team, that meant retiring some curricula & pausing my beloved Collaborative Lesson Development Training program. It also forced me to finally admit defeat and close down peer review in The Carpentries Lab – something that TBH I've not had capacity to coordinate in some time. [2/4]
