RECON COVID-19 CHALLENGE
Citizen science is a critical engine for creating professional tools that are becoming the new standard in epidemic outbreak response. The problem is connecting people on the front lines and people with R language skills. The COVID-19 challenge is a direct communication channel between field agents actively working on the response to COVID-19 and the R community.
You can get involved in the response to COVID-19 response too!
Join a community of field epidemiologists, infectious disease modellers and R programmers and contribute to improve the free and open source R tools used in the response to the COVID-19 epidemic.
