3 Ways You Can Join the Citizen Scientists Fighting COVID-19

The video discusses three ways to help scientists combat COVID-19 from home. The first is the COVID-19 Citizen Science Project, which uses a survey app to gather data on who is sick, where, and why. The second is Foldit, a game where players design proteins to help develop medicines. The third is Folding at Home, an app that uses donated computing power to simulate protein movements, aiding in drug discovery. These initiatives aim to predict COVID-19 severity, design medicines, and find new druggable sites on the virus.
