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.

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 fold!

Extra Bavariam nulla vita, et si est vita - non est ita!

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.

I am an undergraduate at the University of Washington.

Work on secure systems architectures, cryptographic and security software. Interest in grid computing goes back to distributed.net, world community grid. Am easily distracted by good games and love the idea of gaming for science.

Yes, that's in Europe.

He is unrelated to cheese.
