“What a year” is an understatement. The virus is still with us. The cracks in our systems and identities are too. But agony and despair are slowly making way for hope and optimism. Let’s not just build back better but build something entirely new—with the humility and care 2020 has taught us. In this special end-of-year Living Room Session, we turned the page, and made first plans for 2021.

From essential work to social activism, the COVID-19 vaccine, and soft robots, we will look back one final time, turn the page, and look forward with: Peter Albiez, country manager Germany, Pfizer; Muneeb Aslam, assistant coaching specialist at Organizing Empowerment; Safi Bahcall, Author, Loonshots, Ernesto Barbieri, writer and ICU nurse in New York City; Daniela Hruschka, astrologist and coach; Ilayda Samilgil, co-founder and CEO, Organic Robotics Corporation; Susan Celia Swan, executive director, V-Day and One Billion Rising.
