This COMPUTER GAME could help stop coronavirus
You don't have to be a scientist to do science. Download and play Foldit and you can help researchers discover new antiviral drugs that might stop coronavirus. The most promising solutions will be manufactured and tested at the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design in Seattle.
Foldit is FREE and not-for-profit: https://fold.it/
This video features Foldit scientist Brian Koepnick, PhD. It was produced by Ian Haydon.
Note: Foldit is an interactive computer game and not a distributed computing project. If you would like to donate spare CPU cycles to science, please check out the Rosetta@Home project on BOINC at https://boinc.bakerlab.org/
