The other day, something interesting happened. I was visiting my friend Dave, and he introduced me to a fascinating project I gotta share with you. Stanford University’s Folding@home project.
We’re going to explore the science behind the Folding@home project and my journey in joining this incredible initiative. Trust me, this project feeds your tech curiosity and lets you contribute to a fantastic cause using the power of distributed computing. Plus, the benefits to medical research are enormous and something that concerns us all!
Editor’s Note (2024)
This was my first post from my high-school days. I have carried it around as a memento of sorts; please be gentle. In early 2024, I corrected some typos, spruced up the formatting, and added a few pictures, including a cover; but I left my writing largely untouched. Stay tuned for an update and a guide on folding some proteins yourself!
