We had our monthly call with the research team today.

1. We currently have approximately two weeks worth of work available for download. At this point, we think the researchers will be sending a little more work, but we don't yet know how many batches they'll send or when they will be sent.
2. The research team just hosted a big scientific conference in Brazil. OpenZika got some good visibility in presentations and conference posters. The team also got to meet with some of their collaborators who will be testing potential treatments based on the OpenZika data.
3. At this same conference, the researchers spoke with other scientists at length about other diseases (such as Chikungunya) that have a major impact on the public health system in Brazil. This is coming at a time when the government has significantly cut scientific funding and fellowships.
4. They're continuing to work with the Outsmart Ebola Together team on helping to analyze their data.

Below is the current status of OpenZika work units:

Available for Download: 1,945 batches
In Progress: 6,563 batches (4,457,145 work units)
Completed: 450,269 batches total, 6135 batches in the last 30 days, average of 205 batches/day

We had our monthly call with the research team today.

1. The researchers confirmed that they've sent the last of the work units to us. Based on our tech team's estimated projections, there's about two weeks worth of work to be processed.
2. One of the researchers will be speaking at a conference in the US in early December.
3. They have several papers in the works--mostly in the writing stage.
4. They're making plans for analyzing their data--the project produced a huge amount of information.
