Finally the nature paper is out. Congratulation to all Foldit players and now authors!

in addition to the journal paper, there is also a long article in Nature magazine on citizen science (featuring one of our players), and the nature also did a video (featuring two of our players). and a lot of other press ranging from New York Times to The Economist that came out concurrently with the Nature paper. Links below, and congratulations to all of you again. For those of you who cannot read the actual article (Nature journal requires subscription) let me know, and i'll send it to you provided that you are an active foldit player. We checked and this should be legit since all foldit players are authors.
