Dear Students and Colleagues,
As you know, in response to efforts to contain the spread of the Coronavirus, many academic institutions have adopted remote instruction. Princeton will adopt this practice for all classes and seminars for the entire Spring term, starting from next week, in addition to travel restrictions and restrictions on gatherings (https://www.princeton.edu/content/covid-19-coronavirus-information). This of course implies that our summer school, scheduled for June 14-19, cannot be held on campus in person. This outcome should not be a surprise with the recent developments in the ferocity of the virus. In fact, it is a relief from holding it under the cloud of uncertainty.
We have been thinking of options forward. First, we can organize a virtual session, consisting of recorded lectures selected from previous sessions. This can be done easily and can be made accessible to all at no cost. Some enrichment features can be implemented to make the session more “formal” (e.g., a career panel, etc.). In addition or alternatively, we can move the physical session to sometime later in the year when the virus spread is over. The challenge here is to identify a time slot to accommodate most attendees. Perhaps a shorter session, say a long weekend of three days, may work. We will keep you updated regarding the new schedule of the 2020 summer school. Please also keep an eye on our website.
Thanks again for applying to the 2020 Princeton Summer School on Combustion, and we wish you good health and all the best.
Best regards,
Chung K. Law, Robert H. Goddard Professor
