What is Silver Bullet?

In folklore, a silver bullet is ammunition that can destroy a powerful enemy, the werewolf. In pharmaceutical research, a silver bullet is a perfect medicine that can destroy a disease while leaving the body healthy. In 2020, a deadly new virus descended on the world, and scientists around the globe joined forces in the history’s greatest scientific collaboration to find a silver bullet for COVID-19. In less than a year, this new field has produced 100,000 research papers. The Silver Bullet Newsletter provides weekly updates on some of the most important, relevant, and actionable new science every week collected by Catherine Shaffer, a veteran science writer with a background in laboratory research.
