Researchers apply COVID-19 lessons to prevent future pandemics

By Jason Bates May 12, 2021 Though other pandemics have affected the U.S. over the past 100 years, COVID-19 has been compared most often to the 1918 influenza pandemic in terms of its impact. Both events overwhelmed the health care system and drastically altered everyday life across the country. Decades of NSF research led to innovations such as polymerase chain reaction-based DNA analysis and the bacterial enzyme CRISPR. Building on this work, scientists and engineers were able to quickly respond to the country’s immediate needs discovering how the virus works and identifying methods to track its spread. Their contributions also laid the foundation for the rapid development of treatments and vaccines to protect people from the virus.

Population of critically endangered Bahama Oriole is much larger than thought

New study suggests there are at least 10 times as many Bahama Orioles as believed This Bahama Oriole is perched in a pine tree on Andros Island in the Bahamas.  March 10, 2021 On a low-lying island in the Caribbean, the future of the critically endangered Bahama Oriole just got a shade brighter. A U.S. National Science Foundation-funded study led by researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County estimates the population of these striking black and yellow birds at somewhere between 1,300 and 2,800 individuals in the surveyed region, suggesting that the overall population is likely several thousand. Older studies estimated the entire population at fewer than 300, so the new results indicate there are at least 10 times as many Bahama Orioles as previously understood. The research appeared in

Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) Webinars | NSF - National Science Foundation

March 23, 2021 5:00 PM Virtual Workshop The National Science Foundation to Support a Series of Workshops on Pandemic Prediction and Prevention The Directorates for Biological Sciences (BIO); Computer Information Science and Engineering (CISE); Engineering (ENG); Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE); and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) are jointly supporting a series of interdisciplinary workshops to engage research communities around the topic of Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention. This topic arises both from fundamental scientific questions and pressing societal needs. Consequently, NSF is holding a series of virtual workshops that bring together interdisciplinary experts in the
