Benjamin Thompson, Noah Baker and Traci Watson discuss some of 2020's most significant coronavirus research papers.
In the final Coronapod of 2020, we dive into the scientific literature to reflect on the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers have discovered so much about SARS-CoV-2 – information that has been vital for public health responses and the rapid development of effective vaccines.
