ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

OpenWorm

Openworm is a project to create a computer simulation of a tiny worm called C. elegans. By creating this simulation, scientists can learn more about how the tiny worm moves, behaves, eats, and interacts with other creatures. The simulation also allows scientists to study the worm's nervous system, genes, and cells to better understand how all parts of the worm work together. Through Openworm, researchers can use computers to create models that can be used to study how theworm behaves and develops.
