"Crowdsourcing" is a demeaning term to refer to one that dedicates and donates their resources and money to distributed computing. I've been running BOINC for 20 years and using such a derogatory term to describe what I do has never crossed my mind. I didn't know that "Crowdsourcing" was demeaning in some way. I'm puzzled by this? Can you please explain? Thanks for contributing, in any case ! |

RNA vaccines: an introduction | PHG Foundation, November 2020
Conventional vaccine approaches have not been as effective against rapidly evolving pathogens like influenza or emerging disease threats such as the Ebola, Zika viruses, or COVID-19. RNA-based vaccines could have an impact in these areas due to their shorter manufacturing times and greater effectiveness. Beyond infectious diseases, RNA vaccines have potential as novel therapeutic options for major diseases such as cancer. https://www.phgfoundation.org/briefing/rna-vaccines |
