A Comparison Of The Evolution, Structure, And Function Of Sars-Cov And Sars-Cov-2 Spike Proteins, Tai Michaels
The Yale Undergraduate Research Journal
As the COVID-19 pandemic has developed into the largest pandemic of the twenty-first century, it has become apparent that this disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is unlike anything the modern world has faced before. Not only has the disease infected more than 16 million people worldwide, but its rapid spread has drawn global attention to the gaps in our understanding of its pathogenesis and the development of vaccines and treatments.

Insignificant Impacts Of Covid-19 Stay-At-Home Orders On Chicago Air Quality, Adam W.T. Steffeck
DePaul Discoveries
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports of air quality improvements around the world resulting from the stay-at-home orders were widespread. However, for Chicago, no significant air quality improvements occurred despite large reductions in private vehicle transportation due to the lack of commuters.

Therefore, the main aim of this research is to propose guidelines on how new smart architectural elements …

Covid-19 And Campus Life: Student Perspectives, Ryan Shah
Osmosis Magazine
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented changes to campus life as students have adjusted to the hybrid class model and physical distancing framework.

Among students on campus, there are varying attitudes about how this semester of “Protecting Our Web” has gone. To document this historic semester, I interviewed three students in mid- October:
- Colin Sparkevicius, a senior from Pennsylvania majoring in business administration
- Tereza Hernandez, a sophomore from Virginia majoring in global studies
- Karthik …
