The WVU Humanities Center has awarded seven “Life in the Time of COVID-19” grants to research projects that address the pandemic from a humanistic perspective.
Researchers from the WVU School of Medicine have developed two new COVID-19 tests. One is a diagnostic test that detects the RNA of SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—in nose-swab samples. The other is an antibody test that identifies a specific antibody to SARS-CoV-2 that plays a key role in blocking the virus from infiltrating healthy cells.
The presentation will take place on Monday (June 15) at 2 p.m. via Zoom.
The coronavirus has driven us indoors and separated us from coworkers, friends and loved ones. That’s nothing really new for Sara Loftus, a geography doctoral student who is studying how to build an online community.
Participants should be at least 18 years old. It is an online survey study and takes about 15 minutes to complete.
