The Science Gallery Bengaluru's online exhibition CONTAGION opened in April, 2021, just as India approached a staggering 20 million reported cases of COVID-19, a number likely to be a vast undercount. The alarming second wave of COVID-19 in India gives this exhibition an immediacy and relevance.

[Research Paper] COVID-19: Rapid antigen detection for SARS-CoV-2 by lateral flow assay: A national systematic evaluation of sensitivity and specificity for mass-testing
Tim Peto, On behalf of the UK COVID-19 Lateral Flow Oversight Team | thelancet.com | 2021-05-29
Our results suggest LFDs have promising performance characteristics for mass population testing and can be used to identify infectious positive individuals. The Innova LFD shows good viral antigen detection/sensitivity with excellent specificity, although kit failure rates and the impact of training are potential issues. These results support the expanded evaluation of LFDs, and assessment of greater access to testing on COVID-19 transmission.

Sandipan Talukdar | peoplesdispatch.org | 2021-05-28
One issue with vaccines against COVID-19 is the process of gauging their efficacy. Scientists have tried to zero in on a marker that can be easily detected and will show what level of efficacy a vaccine. One such marker can be the neutralizing antibodies that are found in the blood after a vaccine dose has been administered. | The latest study published in the Nature on May 17 says that the level of antibodies in the blood of a vaccinated person is a strong indicator of the protection gained against COVID-19.
