The Washington Post: As the United States begins to relax and revert to normal this summer, Izabela Ragan won’t stop working. For the next seven months, the scientist will drive from her home in the Rocky Mountains to a warren of secure biocontainment laboratories nestled next to the foothills to test an experimental coronavirus vaccine. The laborious experiments at Colorado State University are physically and mentally taxing — some people compare the fatigue and exhaustion of working “behind the barrier” of a biosafety level-3 laboratory to a hangover.
