Ada Lovelace Day, held every year on the second Tuesday of October, was created to celebrate one of the first woman computer programmers. It is an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It aims to increase the roles of women within the STEM sectors and support women already working in STEM.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) collaborated with publishers and scholarly societies to expand access to coronavirus-related journal articles in PubMed Central (PMC), a digital archive of peer-reviewed biomedical and life sciences literature. Through this collaboration, more than 50 publishers made more than 350,000 coronavirus-related articles accessible under various article-level license terms through the PMC COVID-19 Collection (previously the PMC COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Initiative). This collaboration made a significant collection of coronavirus-related information immediately accessible to researchers to accelerate discoveries about COVID-19.
