Started crunching Boinc a couple of years ago and was introduced to folding by a Boinc team-mate, so have added that to my list of worthy causes.

Originally a Boing Boing recruit, I'm settled in and cosy...

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.

Matthias Gaebel ist ein 39 Jahre alter Falter aus Deutschland.

M.G. is a 39 years old bloke from the region between Danmark and Switzerland.
Yes, that's in Europe.

He is unrelated to cheese.

I fold a bit.

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

Currently working two jobs, and going to school full time, so I have little time to fold. If you see me online it is probably a script running. This is my main account now, others are unchecked. If I am online, I'm probably in Anthropic Dreams chat only, so come join us if you would like to talk. We are always accepting members of any skill level.

Originally studied biochemistry and drifted into computer programming. Now semi-retired, I work for a local society involved in salmonid enhancement. FoldIt eats up much of my remaining time.

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.
