Welcome DW Class of 2020 Science Enrichment Group.

We will be doing actual research in Protein Science, that is after we finish our intro puzzles. It takes a while to do them all, but be patient. Once we are done with the intro work, we can solve a few example puzzles from old contests, then join an active contest and work as a team to help solve real world problems on the Foldit crowdsourcing platform.

See: https://www.americanscientist.org/blog/from-the-staff/behind-the-scenes-of-foldit-pioneering-science-gamification

The mission of this group is to:

learn some molecular biology while having fun solving puzzles,

better understand and appreciate theoretical modeling,

and advance the scientific study of proteins through our efforts.

Please email me if you have any questions or ideas.

Sincerely,

Eric Rexer
