Science research can mean analyzing insane amounts of data, which takes longer time than we have. How can it be done more quickly? Enter the World Community Grid – the best invention for science since the microscope! It is, by far, the easiest way for anyone to help scientists research pandemics like COVID-19 to stop them and prevent future ones.

ISC brings you this special Q&A with the Grid’s program manager at IBM (where it was created) who will explain what World Community Grid is, how the software works, and how YOU can actually contribute to science research easily without any knowledge of computers or science. You’ll also hear from one of the top scientists at Scripps Research Institute about how they’re utilizing WCG to analyze millions of chemical compounds to search for COVID-19 treatments, and how you can help. You can do it while you sleep!

Plus, at this event, you’ll learn how to join IL Science Council’s team on WCG where we’ve already generated over 1 million points towards science research. It’s a terrific way that absolutely anyone can contribute to pandemic research. You will love learning about WCG and the science research taking place, and you’ll have the chance to join a truly winning team that’s worth bragging about!
