FoldIt: Wasting Time for a Good Cause - Boing Boing - http://www.boingboing.net/2009...
"I am Aotearoa, I have been folding protein via Fold.it for a long time now, perhaps 9 months. This is, without a doubt the most challenging, exciting, stimulating, intense, addictive game I have ever played, did I just say game? nah, this is life... Real life! stuff that effects real people and YOU could be the person who discovers the breakthrough of a lifetime, by playing it. I don't have a science background or diplomas in anything, but that doesn't matter playing this game because everyone is equal, you have to teach yourself or join a group to get support to learn. Beating the scientists at their own game always makes me laugh... technique wins the puzzles, learning the tools to Fold with and how the protein reacts to your touch will help ALOT." - Michael Nielsen
