Some of you may know of the Folding@Home program. What F@H does is, by distributed computing, use your computer's spare computing power to simulate how proteins fold to help understand cancers and Alzheimer's. Now though, with COVID-19 (Coronavirus) research being of importance, Folding@Home are working on that. By installing Folding@Home on your computer, you can help scientists to understand and hopefully cure Coronavirus. MAP used to have a group running (original 2004 thread) so if you join in enter team id 38887. It might not be much, but I think we'd all agree that any help the experts get is a good thing. - Anth
I just installed this. I used to have something like this on a computer many years ago, but I have moved house and changed computers a few times, completely forgot until you brought this up!
Yeah, I was reminded about it by a tech page on Flipboard and thought straight away of MAP's group from back in the day. The statistics page on F@H seems to be down but we can keep folding regardless
