Lessons from counterpart searches in LIGO and Virgo’s third observing campaign

No confirmed counterparts during LIGO and Virgo’s third observing run bring more questions than answers to the active multi-messenger community, which is adapting collaboratively and technically as expectations evolve and more data are taken.
