was wondering why they're so quiet, turns out they were working on it after all.

> Normally we’d wait to publish this work until it had been peer-reviewed for an academic journal. However, given the potential seriousness and time-sensitivity of the situation, we’re releasing the predicted structures as we have them now, under an open license so that anyone can make use of them.

see also /r/covid19 for an example of science working they way we expect it to. chapeau bas!

I wish every health issue and tech hurdle (solar, batteries...) would have such a reddit, with the entire world scientists openly collaborating on it.

It's great when the whole world unites to fight a common enemy.

Wonder if the communication structure could be replicated for dealing with the numerous other serious existential threats our species faces.

I wish the Illuminati was real. That would mean someone was in control.

I didn't realize that subreddit existed, thanks! A lot of the time /r/coronavirus feels like a pile of doomsday preppers waiting to hear the apocalypse starter pistol.

Can anyone guide me how to start with using deep learning with biology I am cs student btw so resources according to that will be helpful
