One of the things I learned about today discussing Folding@Home with the Marketing Lead for the Pande Group, Anton, is that they are kicking off a new recruitment initiative to bring the Active Folders to at least 1 million people
 
The new site is https://foldingathome.stanford.edu/
 
I love the idea and the new outreach they are planning looks amazing!
 
Also, I was SUPER stoked that Anton cited our 'Why do I fold' thread when he was discussing this.

That new site looks amazing! I can not wait for them to hit that goal, it will happen.

Super nice overhaul, can't wait for TZC :)

Looks great!    (Now if they could just retain some of the donors I'm sure they'll pick up...............)

New website is great and all, but I believe that they are taking the wrong approach to reach 1 million.  To me the more important issue is donor retention and a fancy new website isn't going to fix those issues.  But then again, its no surprise based on the questions they were asking a while back in their donor survey

I posted the link on my facebook page!
 
lets crush this thing!

During the height of tension last year over St the folding forums, as the Maxwell work unit failure rate was extremely high, I suggested to Bruce that they reach out to the masses and get feed back rather than cover up the sensors on the community. I have 3 pages of practically begging for pandemic and Bruce to take a step toward finding ways to retain folders and donors for a more successful production amongst those that see the purpose and want to fight for a cure.

Anything is a step forward for everyone.
