E-mail update:

Dear 1695814,

April Update: Africa Rainfall Project
Apr 9, 2021 - The researchers continue to publicize the project and work on making the data easy to share.

OpenPandemics - COVID-19 Now Running on Machines with Graphics Processing Units
Apr 6, 2021 - The software that powers OpenPandemics - COVID-19 has been adapted to use GPU power. This will not only help the researchers to screen more molecules, but also could help them study molecules that are more complex.

Thanks for all your support,

The World Community Grid Team

Look out, COVID-19, we’re coming after you…and your little variants, too!!!
