Haiti 2021 - still a hiatus!

My assistant continues my Bio101 class that was interrupted by the COVID shutdown.

I left Haiti in March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic caused the world to hunker down. But in fall 2020 I resumed teaching my Bio101 class via prerecorded videos from which my assistant taught. Knowing the students in the class helped maintain somewhat of a connection with them. We wrapped up that class then proceeded into the actual fall semester, beginning in Dec. 2020, with Bio102. Not even halfway through the semester, in Feb. 2021 more political upheaval in Haiti shut down the country and classes. So we all wait to see what happens next.

Update - The spring 2021 semester started in mid-April 2021. They are slowly catching up. May update - starting another round of Bio101 and Bio102!
