Info for Nature paper

We thought it would be great to include the motivations of Foldit players in our revised submission to Nature. Please help by filling out this quick form (it should take 5-10 seconds).

I just saw this video and it

I just saw this video and it sums up some very interesting findings about why people would invest time in non-paid activities, even while holding down a paying job.

It's worth watching, IMHO, as it's possibly relevant for a number of folders without them even realising it.
