DU Folding@Home team

Back in 1998, I was introduced to the SETI project through some obscure website I was visiting, so I decided to try it out. It worked pretty well, but eventually I became dissatisfied with the research and results. Without getting into a discussion of the possibilities of extra terrestrial life here, I decided donating my computer time to that sort of project was a waste of time (other than proving the capability of distributed computing projects), and eventually stopped for several years. Then in the middle of 2003, I saw a reference to the Satnford projuct (Folding@Home) and decided it was a worthwhile project to donate computer resources to.

Today I noticed that Kos members set up a Folding@Home team

I created a team for DU (Team number 48157)and would be willing to change teams if more people are interested in joining this group

The long term possibilities - even medium term possibilities - are tremendously exciting. Every day's folding helps to build the knowledge that will someday produce cures.
