What I’ve been doing for the #COVID19 crisis this past few weeks is compiling information. Literature review, compilation of existing efforts, and some coordination/outreach/technical writing work for a project to build & donate low-cost non-invasive ventilators.

I’m finding that there’s a ton of *volume of talk* about COVID19 and not nearly enough aggregation and synthesis. I’m almost done with a project to comprehensively list all the charitable projects to make & donate PPE to healthcare workers. There’s nothing out there like this.

Yes, I use it quite a bit for my private notes that I'm not ready to make public yet. I make a practice of making a node for each gene name, for instance, which is really good for cross-referencing.
