One thing the pandemic brought me was a strong interest in understanding the SARS-CoV-2 virus better. I am not a virologist, but I do know how to read the literature. Sadly, I stopped reading SARS-CoV-2 literature a year ago. It was getting too serious, too exhausting. I'm trying to find the energy to pick it up again. You will find me repeatedly mention learnability, an undervalued aspect of usability. One of the strengths of linked data is its support for learnability.

So, when I learned that Complex Portal had more information on SARS-CoV-2 protein complexes from Birgit, I got quite interested in linking to this from WikiPathways. And that's exactly what we did during the April 2020 virtual BioHackathon. The just published update of Complex Portal has a bit of information on these results.
