Help research cancer and other diseases with Folding at Home

A comment below said that the software isn’t Mac compatible, so I’ll expand a bit on what the software is compatible with:
Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista
Mac OS X (in any of its versions)
Linux
Playstation 3

Also, it can be run as a screen saver or a program, along with the more complicated console version. The link to download is below, don’t forget to add team #36343 as that’s team 43Things.com

who is folding with our team. Jaq has worked his way up to our number 4 contributor on the team! Morningbreeze is #5, Ficus_Major #7, Wimblejigs #9, eatdrinktravel #18, Oogyboogwa #19, MisButterflyKisses #25, and stevepayne #29. Sorry if I left anyone out, I tried to include everyone that is a current folder. If you think you are folding for our team and your name folding name isn’t on this list, check that your folding is working and that you added team #36343.

As you can all see the team is getting bigger, but the more people and the more computers that are folding the more difference we can make. So, even if you want to fold for another team please join.

Also, I’d like to note that there are 43Things people that fold for other teams, notably the_technocrat (who is one of the biggest contributers to folding in the world!) and DeadWriter.

Stanford University has a program that you can download to your computer that takes a tiny bit of data on the way proteins fold and uses your computer’s spare time to study it. Stanford is doing this “distributed computing” project to study the causes and possible cures for Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Mad Cow Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and many many others. You can run it as a screen saver, or as an application, it’s made for PC or Mac, and it could really make a difference. Their website is http://folding.stanford.edu/ to get more information about it, and the download link is on the left. If you need help setting it up, there are links on the site, or you can message me.

I’d like to thank morningbreeze (wysiwyg), Jaq, Runfree, Wimblejigs (emm beigh) for continuing to fold and I want to encourage anyone who isn’t to start as it could really make a difference.
These four people are now the 5th, 8th, 10th, and 12th most productive members of the team!

Anyone who reads this should check out this goal and join our team!

Congrats to our two new members who contributed their first unit on the 30th, Shannon_Harden and Beth_Pena. To see our team’s stats you can go to

Ficus_Major is in 5th place on our team now, so a special thanks to you for contributing so much.

Thanks to eveyone who has joined our team and has continued donating, morningbreeze finished her second unit, wimblejibs her 4th, “Noodle” his/her 9th, jb2577 aka juliakia her 14th, and Ficus_Major thier 20th… and a special congrats to Noodle, juliakia, and Ficus_Major who are now in the 10th, 9th, and 7th places on the team in donations.
Now we all need to try to recruit more people to help and make team 43Things.com even better!

p.s. Sorry if I happened to get anyone’s gender wrong, often there isn’t a picture, name, or even a clue to go by.

Congrats on your first addition to folding, and to our team 43Things.com
and JB2577 who has just turned in their 6th work unit.

Hooray for the first new person from 43Things.com sending their first two work units to Stanford, and making a little difference towards the project’s goal of helping to cure so many diseases.
I’m not sure who took the username of jb2577 when they set up their folding program, but whoever you are, you’re the first person specifically from 43Things.com to add to our team.
When you add the program to your computer, post your username here if you want so that we can all see who is helping and cheer you for it like you deserve.
if you want to see our team and how we are doing here’s the link: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=36343
My username is ElCarmean, the same as my 43things name.
Thanks for your help, and try to recruit more people to help us too!
