Behind the Mask

Behind the Mask: The Untold Story of the Scientists Who Confronted COVID-19, Volume 1, provides a detailed account of the scientific response during the onset of the global pandemic. In early 2020, a small group of researchers identified a rising microbial threat and organized a dedicated team to find innovative solutions. This group evolved into the CrisiScience Collaborative, a massive network of Nobel laureates, engineers, and business leaders. These experts volunteered their time to anticipate emerging problems and develop strategies to combat the virus.

This medical nonfiction work explores the selfless actions and collaborative efforts that occurred behind the scenes. While much of their work remained unnoticed by the public, the contributions of these scientists played a vital role in saving lives during a period of extreme uncertainty. Behind the Mask: The Untold Story of the Scientists Who Confronted COVID-19, Volume 1, examines how cooperation and rapid innovation can address a global health crisis.
