Rosetta@Home

Dec 13, 2006 17:06



Exams are over, new project's starting up. I set up a Facebook group for the Rosetta@Home protein folding shizz, hoping to get some involvement there.

It's been a little under 24 hours, and 27 people are in the group (including myself). Only one person out of those 26 others is in the actual Facebook group (the one competing with universities/governments that are involved in the project), but I'm glad that at least there's some interest in it.

I understand exams are now and whatnot, and that's why I waited until I was done mine before starting up the group.

I added everyone that I thought will be interested... if those people get involved and it gets off the ground, I'll start inviting the people that would be more apathetic, and maybe they'll join and try it out from the sheer number of other people in the group. =P

I used to be part of the StileProject team, but I thought, "Why not start up a new team, get more people involved?"

Especially with the ridiculous numbers of people on Facebook.
