How Open Science Can Help Researchers Prepare for the Next Pandemic
AI summary
When COVID-19 emerged, scientists had a crucial advantage: Decades of prior research on coronaviruses meant they understood the virus’ key proteins well enough to design vaccines in record time. The next pandemic may not offer the same head start.

- Why it was chosen
- The release of predicted structures for over 2,800 viruses demonstrates a concrete use of open science in pandemic preparedness.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
