Welcome to the Yasuda Library. I hope I have built something useful for you. Similar scientific papers by other people are included in this library too. When there is a new paper for a topic, the app takes it in. If you have a question, ask Grok in the field below. Suggestions for how to make this better are very welcome.

A tour of the app

What is new is at the top. It is shown twice. Under Topics, the avatar speaks. That file is for interested laypeople. Under Library, there is no avatar. That file is for scientists: a short description, and the links to the papers. The topics are the same in both places. Similar papers by other people are included, so the same work is not done twice.

Professor Yasuda's papers.

New under SARS-CoV-2, Long COVID, Iron.

Latest updateOctober 4, 2026 at 5:42 PMThe tour is marked on its own, with a small picture.

Two files, the same topics. Library is for scientists, no avatar. Topics is for interested laypeople, with the avatar.

His week, with the avatar

The same posts, by day. Where there is an avatar, she speaks.

11 papers this week, 4 of them on long COVID. They sit together, so he does not need to list them.

To pass on

Yasuda Library. The week is already laid out.
Nobody has to hunt down the attached paper again.
