Emerald badge or 1 year of computing power for Covid-19 research with WCG on BOINC

Emerald badge for Open Pandemic Covid project reflects 1 year of computer power contributed to the research.

The project started in May 2020 to target Covid-19 and finding potential treatments. The outcome of the research will be great value to fight future virus infections.

The project is run by the Scipps Research. There is more information about it as follows:

This is probably too early to have first results or a publications. There are active discussions on the project science and results in the forum

• https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/listthreads?forum=800

Overall, there are 51'670 years of computation, 155 Mio results returned. This is approximately 1mio results per day.

My contribution is just 1 year and 486 results.

This is my second Emerald budge after mapping cancer markers project.
