NASA Science Live: Science in the Time of Coronavirus

NASA Science Live: Hello, everyone,  welcome to another virtual episode of "NASA Science Live."

Now we are taking you across the country to hear from nasa experts. Who are working tirelessly to respond to the global covid-19 pandemic.

Our planet is facing an unprecedented crisis as we continue to wrestle with the impacts of coronavirus. With its unparalleled technical and scientific expertise, nasa has joined the fight against the pandemic. 

The supercomputing efforts and oxygen helmets being developed in california to sanitizing technologies developed in ohio.

Some of the ways NASA Science Live has contributed to help combat this global health crisis.

Episode 18 - Science in the Time of Coronavirus

On april 1st nasa launched an agency-wide call for ideas. How we could leverage our unmatched capabilities to help the nation during this trying time.

From oxygen hoods to ventilators engineers and scientists have developed concepts and worked with partners to quickly respond to the worldwide pandemic.

Last month nasa space apps covid-19 challenge invited coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, builders, artists, and others to use data from nasa and other space agencies to design solutions related to covid-19.

In just two days than 15,000 people from 150 countries around the world registered to participate in the global hackathon creating over 1,400 products ranging from mobile apps, websites, music, art, and more. 

The challenge winners will be announce n august. In the meantime NASA Science Live and also you can visit covid-19. spaceappschallenge.org to learn more.

Among other plans two researchers from nasa's ames research center in california. They are using the powerful computer to study genetic risk factors and more. 

Roles of NASA Science in Scientific Community

Researchers at nasa's langley research center in virginia. The national institute of aerospace are lending their expertise in computational fluid dynamics. To better understand the flow of a person's breath through an n95 mask.

Results from their study ultimately could help engineers design mask filters that last longer and keep out more harmful particles. Johns Hopkins University is incorporating nasa earth science data such as temperature and humidity. Rainfall in its online covid-19 dashboard leading model of coronavirus spread.

While it's too soon to draw any connections between environmental factors and the spread of covid-19. Research say that pulling in the full arsenal of nasa earth observations. Help us learn more about this disease in the NASA Science Live.

for regular updates on efforts around the agency, visit nasa.gov/coronavirus. While some members of the nasa family have directed their efforts to help combat covid-19 pandemic, others continue to work on nasa missions. But like many others around the world, they're doing it from their homes.

Collaboration and Participation in Science

That's so amazing, marit, and consumer confidence is so important. Especilly as we try to go back to normal. ou've had to get a little bit creative as you have been working.

i'm so glad you got to go back to your lab now. ut you had to be a little creative over the last few weeks, didn't you? When we first got the disinfectant fogger from the company, we had to meet in a pavilion in my neighborhood park.

Our team was there and contact gave the demonstration and NASA Science Live explained the whole system out in the pavilion while it was raining cats and dogs around us.

So, that was like a kind of makeshift arrangement, but at the time we had to get this communication done. and being out in the open, it's great because, you know, we had a lot of fresh air to disperse our exhaled aerosols. 

Idea's and Innovation from NASA Science Live

We've done this unintended global experiment by reducing the transportation through automobiles and aircraft. These stay-at-home orders, and nasa has-- nasa satellites are sampling day and night around the world.

However even though our activity has been decreased. The ability to observe these changes hasn't, and we have seen dramatic reductions in the pollutants being emitted from these activities. 

In th NASA Science Live We are trying to make the best of this bad situation, so we're making-- we're taking these lemons and making lemonade out of it.

We've seen that what we understand about air pollution, it's really testing our ability to see how well we can forecast air pollution, how well-- and it also highlights how people's actions really make a large difference.

Just by not driving-- by thinking about taking a trip -- do you really need to take that trip? Find your answers NASA Science Live ! I learned that i don't have to go to work every day, that i can do a lot of the stuff that i normally do just from home, and

In the process polluting less. and so, all these advantages, all these things that we do that emit less air pollution also emit less co2, and so there's a climate benefit as well. 

Why introduce NASA Science in the Time of Coronavirus ?

Initially in china and italy, and then as the stay-at-home order spread to other countries, in the united states and most recently in south america and these have been really trying times, but you're learning so much about it, and as folks continue to stay at home.

are continue to decipher through more and more of this data in the coming months. What are learn from NASA Science Live. Where we've seen so far and how are we going to use this material to move forward into the future? 

It's fascinating to see this direct correlation, and what I think is so key is the education, and nasa and its partners are putting together this incredible dashboard in a browser so everyone can see the environmental impacts of staying at home.

How do you think that this will help educate people about their personal environmental footprint?

What we learn from this Pandemic ?

It's been an incredible experience to work with these scientists and content developers across all of the agencies, and extremely excited for others to see how science can really expand our understanding of this global pandemic. 

The Humans are connected through earth's vivid blue oceans, lush green lands. However, we are now connected by a greater commonality through NASA Science Live-- the shared goal to fight coronavirus.

here at nasa we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind. we are all in this together.
