All things come to an end, even a year like 2020. In geology, the end of an Earth period and subsequent beginning of a new one is called a transition, so we gave a fitting name to this final episode of the year. We decided to do something different and talk about how we experienced 2020 at our university. The current situation influenced the usual routine severely, as it did everywhere. Nevertheless, this year had a couple of welcome opportunities in store for us, which we could not be any more thankful for.

Going forward this is going to be our regular format for the final episode of the year.
