As the world have very much halted due to the Coronavirus pandemic, there are many heroes that are working to fight the virus. Many of the healthcare workers, government workers, and scientists are working at the frontline fighting to save lives while other essential workers including public safety personnel, teachers, local pharmacy and grocery employees, and moms and dads doing their parts at home to keep everyone safe.

I also wanted to highlight our unsung heroes of the technology, engineering, and hobby makers who are using their skills and creativity to help fight COVID-19. There are many large and small projects that are taking place all over the world to help people and fight virus.

  • Many makers and hobbyists are volunteering their skills and equipment (e.g. 3D printers) to produce medical and protective gears that are short supply - https://time.com/5811091/makers-3d-printing-coronavirus/

  • Many research projects such as Folding@Home that can utilize your idle computing time to perform molecular dynamics simulation of protein to aide in Coronavirus research - https://foldingathome.org

  • Youtube video attached below highlights some of the awesome technology and science projects currently taking place

Again, thanks for everyone’s help in fighting the global pandemic and your sacrifice in helping mankind. Thanks!
