Hello everyone,
We just published the most recent update from the OpenZika research team, which you can read here. Right now, there is a pause in work units while our developers and the researchers build approximately 20,000 new batches. Once those are launched (in 1-2 weeks), they will be the final work units for the project. We don't know how exactly how long it will take for volunteers to process these work units--our rough estimate is that the final work will be done in late September or early October. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project! The Zika virus may not be front-page news anymore in much of the world, but it's still a threat. Your support has been very important. Caiti |

Glad to here that this project is so close to completing this stage so that the data analysis can be completed and concrete benefits of all this work can start to be realized. Kudos to all that have contributed.

The Zika virus may not be front-page news anymore in much of the world, but it's still a threat. That makes this effort all more important. Kudos and well wishes to the team as they move forward. Looking forward to the final push of crunching!  |
