We've been working on a tool for browsing the coronavirus literature and I'd like to share it. Please take a look at coronacentral.ai. It uses manual curation and ML to categorize papers + indexes them with useful biomedical entities + location. Here's an overview: 1/9

Science centres play a huge role in public education Outreach like this video is a focus of my sabbatical - collaborate w/ amazing science centre staff to communicate important messages based on sound science to a broad community Thank you @ScienceNorth for making this possible – at Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury, Ontario
As the #coronavirus cases continue to evolve globally, our local health units are alert and monitoring the situation. Scientist in Residence @tjsmerritt explains.
