http://twitter.com/gnomedex - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - The University of Washington are investigating whether the brainpower of humans worldwide can be brought to bear on critical problems posed in computational biology. The long term goal of this project is to utilize the combined power of humans and computers in order to build accurate models of disease-related proteins by introducing a new approach: distributed computing driven by human intuition. http://www.gnomedex.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

Glad I watched this video. I now run Rosetta@home and put my pc idle time to use! Found the FoldIt game a little too confusing and complicated though.. I guess real science is like that.
