{"scopus_import":"1","pmid":1,"quality_controlled":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"In 2020, many in-person scientific events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a vacuum in networking and knowledge exchange between scientists. To fill this void in scientific communication, a group of early career nanocrystal enthusiasts launched the virtual seminar series, News in Nanocrystals, in the summer of 2020. By the end of the year, the series had attracted over 850 participants from 46 countries. In this Nano Focus, we describe the process of organizing the News in Nanocrystals seminar series; discuss its growth, emphasizing what the organizers have learned in terms of diversity and accessibility; and provide an outlook for the next steps and future opportunities. This summary and analysis of experiences and learned lessons are intended to inform the broader scientific community, especially those who are looking for avenues to continue fostering discussion and scientific engagement virtually, both during the pandemic and after."}],"isi":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Baranov, Dmitry","last_name":"Baranov","first_name":"Dmitry"},{"first_name":"Tara","full_name":"Šverko, Tara","last_name":"Šverko"},{"first_name":"Taylor","last_name":"Moot","full_name":"Moot, Taylor"},{"last_name":"Keller","full_name":"Keller, Helena R.","first_name":"Helena R."},{"first_name":"Megan D.","last_name":"Klein","full_name":"Klein, Megan D."},{"full_name":"Vishnu, E.
