A year after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered its gates, the Minnesota State Fair has returned with the Great Minnesota “Get-Back-Together”—and among the festivities is an opportunity for fairgoers to participate in world-class university research.
Agate, named after Minnesota's state gemstone, will supercharge research by offering roughly seven times the computing power of the existing Mesabi system.
Under the nearly $750,000 contract, UMGC will collaborate with the Minnesota Department of Health to aid in national and global viral surveillance efforts.
