Continuing our research to understand the impact of remote and hybrid work. This time @PNASNews we shared how hybrid work brings environmental benefits. Proud to work with world-class environmental scientists to help organizations around the world navigate work flexibility.

Finally back to US after nearly two months! While Mexico is a great country to stay, being put under 'administrative processing' for US student visa renewal (so as to attend conferences abroad/go home), get stuck and having no clue about the length of the process is not so fun 🥲
