This COMPUTER GAME could help stop coronavirus



You don't have to be a scientist to do science. Download and play Foldit and you can help researchers discover new antiviral drugs that might stop coronavirus. The most promising solutions will be manufactured and tested at the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design in Seattle.

Foldit is FREE and not-for-profit:
