Do you feel exhausted after being on Zoom? You’re not alone. Thanks to COVID-19, we’ve been on Zoom more than ever. From our day-to-day work to meetings and after-work social catch ups, our time spent video conferencing seems endless and it’s tiring us out.

Professor Julie Bernhardt, Florey Institute of Neuroscience & Mental Health

Professor Jeff Hancock, Stanford University
