In this episode of the SpiroPodcast we discuss how citizen scientists are contributing to the COVID19 fight as well as the massive volume of so-called research papers that have inundated journals subsequently flooding over onto pre-print servers. We speak to the benefits and risks of this potentially disruptive dissemination of research/information now during the COVID19 epidemic and after COVID19. We will close with something I like/don't like and some inspirational words from Colt's Corner (Henri Colt, MD).
