Great article about some of the amazing COVID19 research going on at UC Davis.  Everything from cell culture of the virus, to novel test development, to sociology.  There are people working like crazy behind the scenes to connect researchers and clinicians, find gaps in materials/manpower/funding, and bring everyone together.   Really inspiring to see all this.

 

Sixteen UC Davis researchers have been named in the annual Highly Cited Researchers 2019 list released by the Web of Science Group, which compiles statistics on scientific publishing. The list identifies scientists and social scientists who have published multiple papers ranking in the top 1 percent by citations in a particular field and year, over a 10-year period.
