The coronavirus is a global public health emergency. That’s why we’ve kicked off our new Coronavirus Project to bring policy makers and the public the information they need.
In a short period, we have established a team at FAS dedicated to this work. Here’s what we’re doing:
We have built a network of scientists who are regularly informing policy makers on what they need to know about the biology and the spread of the virus.
We have developed an online resource to answer questions from policy makers and the public on COVID-19. Specifically, we are obtaining, summarizing, and translating scientific publications for decision makers who don’t have a science background.
Because of the tremendous amount of disinformation online relating to the origins and the nature of this virus, we are using science-based information and evidence to disprove myths and provide accurate information to the public.
And finally, we’ve initiated a campaign where we are placing evidence-based information on social media in order to counter disinformation that is so prevalent on these platforms.
