Analysis Group Affiliate Michael Scott Kinch Pens New Book on the Scientists Who Fought COVID-19
November 10, 2026
Analysis Group affiliate Michael Scott Kinch’s new book, Behind the Mask: The Untold Story of the Scientists Who Confronted COVID-19, chronicles the little-known story of the CrisiScience Collaborative – a volunteer network of scientists, engineers, and business leaders, including Nobel laureates – that began meeting weekly in early 2020 to tackle the then emerging pandemic. The book highlights the collaborative problem-solving and tremendous effort that unfolded behind the scenes during the uncertain early days of COVID-19.
“A timely portrait of the unsung scientists who rose to meet the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Kinch’s book brings their essential, largely unseen work to light.” – Jee-Yeon Lehmann
Behind the Mask was published by Purdue University Press.
