Here's what I spent the last few years working on. Incredibly proud of the work done by all of the amazing scientists and volunteers who contributed, and optimistic for the future of open science drug discovery for globally equitable and affordable access:
The COVID Moonshot—an open-science, crowdsourced, and patent-free drug discovery campaign targeting the #SARSCoV2 virus—has yielded a wealth of data that could pave the way for the development of new and better therapeutics.

Today is a HUGE day for the COVID Moonshot! 🌙🚀
Here's the first compound that meets our criteria for progression to preclinical studies, and the updated @bioRxiv preprint describing its discovery!
Today we're delighted to share a significant milestone in Moonshot’s journey towards an open-science COVID antiviral: We have identified compounds meeting our criteria for progression to preclinical evaluation!
I still can't believe you folks running @foldingathome have generated 3.6 MILLISECONDS of Mpro free energy calculation data for the @covid_moonshot in the past seven days! That's completely mind-boggling!
Absolutely floored to receive the Summary Statement for our @covid_moonshot@NIH COVID-19 Emergency R01 and see essentially all critiques are complaints about grantsmanship and lack of publications.
