NT Brothern. Put Your Computer to work. HELP Fight serious diseases

I was told about the Folding @ Home project from Stanford about 8 years ago. Back then, it seemed like a cool thing to do since I would always leave my computer on at college anyways. Fast forward to now and there have been over 100 papers published from the results from normal people allowing them to use their spare CPU cycles to learn about protein folding in order to try to fight cancer, Alzheimers, Huntingtons Disease, & Parkinsons.

I know we've put money, time, and other resources towards good causes. For this, the ONLY thing you have to do is download the Folding @ Home program and let it run in the background. You can also download the Chrome extension as well.

If you want to join, we're the NikeTalk team 1. Let's see how many points we can rack up.

What exactly is it?

There used to be a Playstation app for this. I used to run it on my PS3.

I think they did away with it, though... Hardware probably got too old.

They crowd source computers to help solve complex problems with human proteins to help find cures and medicines for diseases.
