CHARITY:
Just as Bingothon Summer 2020, Winter 2020 will benefit Fred Hutch, an organization doing research on various diseases including, of course, COVID-19. But beyond that, they also have a division on cancer research, and are well dedicated to their project Nextstrain, an open-source database to keep track of viral evolution for researchers worldwide to see and use for further research.
You can find out more about them directly on their website for them generally, or more here for their Nextstrain project specifically. You can also learn more about their actions against COVID-19 specifically here.
Also, did you know we had an interview with a representative of Fred Hutch during Summer 2020, mainly focused on COVID-19? Hearing insights from someone who directly works in such an organization and with such knowledge does not happen everyday, so you can find that interview on our YouTube channel if you want to know more about that!
