As some of you may know, we launched an UltimateComputers.net Folding Team a few months ago. I’m proud to announce that we already have 15 members, and have a grand score of over 442,000!
If you don’t know what folding is, it is essentially a way for you to utilize the spare processing power on your home computer to fold proteins. The results of these computations may hold the key to curing diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more. If you would like to download the folding client, go visit Stanford’s Folding Website. Don’t forget to enter the UltimateComputers.net Team Number: 150164.
The main reason I bring this up, however, is because I want to share this great photoshopped picture of me by one of the UC.net forum members, muffe.

Awesome post. Yes everyone can help out. Do you or someone you know leave their computer on all the time? Overnight? Well they’re a great candidate to help out through protein folding. Please help.
