Driving up to Hanover at the start of my freshman year, my imagination kicked into overdrive: I’d find my best friends, take amazing classes with life-changing professors, throw myself into the social scene and continue my passion for skating by joining Dartmouth’s figure skating club. Unfortunately, none of that came to fruition — at least not immediately.

These days, it can feel like the coronavirus pandemic is the only topic in the news. It’s understandable, given the massive human toll and global scale of the crisis. However, I, for one, have started scouring the internet for any hint of good news. And I’ve found a source of hope in reports that as humanity lives in quarantine, the health of the environment is improving: There is more and more news now of clearer waters, better air quality and a decrease in pollution.

Let’s face it: Zoom calls are awkward. In those seconds between when you join the meeting and your lecture begins, what are you supposed to do? Prepare your pen and notepad? Sip your morning coffee? Ask how the professor’s day is going, even though you know every day is the same in quarantine? Or perhaps you resort to a small talk staple and describe the weather where you are.

Dartmouth spring-sport seniors were not alone in their devastation when they saw their last season in a Big Green uniform slip away. For spring-sport athletes in other conferences, the blow of losing spring season was softened by the NCAA Division I council’s March 30 decision to allow schools to grant their spring-sport athletes — regardless of class year — an additional year of eligibility. The Ivy League, however, chose not to afford athletes the opportunity to apply for eligibility extensions, a decision in line with the league’s long-standing policies.

Social distancing imposes tremendous costs on all of us. Colleges shut down, students stay home, employers go bankrupt, salaries dry up, economies free fall and governments lose trillions. Still, the coronavirus continues to spread faster than authorities can keep up with.

For our first installation of D-Classified, The Dartmouth had the opportunity to sit down with Geisel School of Medicine professor Jay Buckey, a former astronaut who developed a program for coping with long-term isolation that has found new purpose amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Buckey, who now directs the Space Medicine Innovations lab at Geisel, spent sixteen days on a space shuttle mission in 1998, where he conducted research on the brain and the human nervous system. Upon returning from his mission, he began to study the barriers to long-duration spaceflight, prompting the creation of the Dartmouth PATH Program, which aims to address the psychological challenges of living with a small group of people in a small space for an extended period of time.
While originally intended primarily for scientists working in isolation, Buckey and the Dartmouth PATH Program’s co-creators believe that it could also help those currently living in self-isolation. While the program’s website warns that it has not been specifically developed for social distancing, Buckey says that its methods for addressing stress, non-clinical depression and conflict between people in quarantine together may still be of use.
To learn more about Buckey and the Dartmouth PATH Program, watch The Dartmouth’s first episode of D-Classified.

“Wouldn’t classes be better if girls always had to speak in class before boys were allowed to participate?” A professor asked me this last term in an attempt to build rapport. The question was rhetorical and my opinion was taken for granted. Surely I, a young woman, wouldn’t disagree.
