What is a Virus, Anyway?
Launched in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we hope these resources provide useful information and context on viruses in general and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) in particular.
What are they? How do they work? What happens to them when they infect us? How do scientists study viruses? And more…
Read, tinker, and explore viruses through this collection of resources developed for various ages and learning environments (including at home, as this is being launched during the area of social distancing/isolation). New components will continue to be added, so check back frequently, or ask your questions in our comments 👇 or on our social media 👉and we’ll do our best to answer them.
