To contribute to this admirable task is quick and painless. Visit: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ and download client program and within seconds your computer will be solving problems of humanity. Download? Download?! This word is sacrilege to many network administrators. Well you needn't worry because IBM, 'Big Blue', has lent its name and resources to ensuring that this is a safe and reliable process. Once downloaded, client program will allow you to see proteins currently being computed. In future, upon completion of Human Proteome Folding project, grid can be used for other challenging scientific problems. One likely candidate is signal processing for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program which required distributed computational power. Gandhi once said: "life is full of seemingly inconsequential acts, but it is absolutely essential that we do them." This seemingly small act may yield research that can improve quality of life for all. Visit: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ and help contribute to scientific history.
