Although German, I live in England and work as an administrator near Manchester. I am very interested but not trained in science. That's why I crunch a variety of BOINC projects like Rosetta@home which allow me to participate directly as a volunteer on my home computer. Folding proteins by hand just adds another dimension, although it is this part which I like best and which led onto the BOINC part of my interest with help from my foldit group's super forum, wiki and admins. For me, folding proteins whilst listening to my favourite music is complete bliss. It lets my creative side to the fore working on these beautiful 3D proteins and is also 'something I can get my teeth into'. Housework has to wait until the recipes run! I consider myself ordinary with a bit of a whacky edge. Life begins at 50!

I am a theatre historian who grew up in South Dakota, finished a bachelors degree at the U of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a PhD at the U of Washington-Seattle. Folding relaxes me and lets me use my spatial thinking.

Amino Acid Junkie.

Papakura Hard.

Special Thanks to my extended Family and Friends who have supported me through my best and worst of times throughout my life.

I am here to help make a difference to the lives of those who suffer from protein folding related problems.

Fold or Die.

I am a Systems Programmer (System Admin) specializing in IBM's large scale , commercial data processing Operating System called z/OS.  I fold for the "fun" of it and the opportunity to better understand the process of protein organization.  I also contribute time to BOINC Projects such as Climate Prediction, SETI@Home, Rosetta and Ralph.  I appreciate the opportunity to learn and in some small way, make a contribution to these projects.

I am studying to be a High School Science teacher and am trying to justify all my time folding by using it as a jumping off for a disertation.

I'm a Software Engineer and instructor. I know very little about biology--I didn't even take it in high school. I've learned a bit by reading and playing and talking to people.

I think this is a worthwhile effort, and try not just to get the best score myself, but help other people to do well, too. I'm proud to be the first person on foldit to get the Master Cook achievement. You can find my scripts by searching for 'tlaloc' within the list of recipes.
