We need your help! Folding@home is joining researchers around the world working to better understand the 2019 Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) to accelerate the open science effort to develop new life-saving therapies. By downloading Folding@Home, you can donate your unused computational resources to the Folding@home Consortium, where a research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering is working to advance our understanding of the structures of potential drug targets for 2019-nCoV that could aid in the design of new therapies. The data you help us generate will be quickly and openly disseminated as part of an open science collaboration of multiple laboratories around the world, giving researchers new tools that may unlock new opportunities for developing lifesaving drugs.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I literally welled up in tears reading that. We have the capability of doing so much IMMEDIATE good! I'm SO proud to be part of this team and this program!

And I whole heartedly include EVERY ONE of the BOINC members in the 'team' because even if we're running differing projects? It's ALL for the same goal/betterment.

This is great news after a week of crappy news and maybe Wall Street should read it and and fire up their rigs for something good.

Yes it is, I am actually enjoying being on the Beta Team and I bypass the admins on the site. Bruce is nothing but Mr. Control freak. I am working straight with the team working on Folding and not forum moderators that get corrected half the time by the real team.
