An educated redneck here, from Dallas, Texas.

When I was in grad school in 1985 at the State University of New York at Buffalo, my master's thesis was to construct and present a computer program that predicted the secondary structures (helix, sheet, loop) of proteins based on their amino acid sequences. Tertiary structure (i.e. folding) prediction was a pie-in-the-sky fantasy.

Imagine my delight, a quarter century later, to find out that not only are people determining tertiary structures of proteins, but they've made a *game* of it.

I am German, but work and live near Manchester, England. I am interested, but not trained in science. That's why I crunch projects with BOINC: - Rosetta@home and 4 others. Folding proteins by hand just adds another dimension, although it is this part which led onto the BOINC part of my interest. It gives me a chance to participate in science. I consider myself ordinary with a whacky edge. ;) My avatar shows a picture of Jodrell Bank radio telescope (on a maintenance day). It is not far from where I live and an exciting place to visit. I speak English. Ich spreche deutsch. Je parle un peu de francais.

I fold a bit.

I like to score really high, really quickly. Then I check my email and maybe do some dishes.

I like folding 'cause it makes me cool down from what heated me up all day long...
I'll do my best to make a good Solution even better.

Doing something relaxing and funny while doing something good for Science also, that a nice Approach.
