Informing public to join RAD@home during pandemic

Internationally, IAU, SKA, Nature-Index have already highlighted our citizen science research efforts. Specially because of Covid-19, IAU created a list of online resources for public to stay engaged in learning astronomy from home. RAD@home has been listed there. I hope such a broadcast from ASI will be in the public interest.
