Project Update

[Sean]

Work units for Drug Search for Leishmaniasis are going down quickly. Still a fair bit to go, but hard to say how long they will last...

Say No to Schistosoma has constant work again, 592 days in fact...  ;D

Here's an update on the project:

"Before human testing of the best candidate compounds can proceed, the Brazilian Research Ethics Committee must approve this testing request. The approval process is expected to take 6 to 8 months."

Good, haven't done any WCG for a while.

So what's available there now, anything else yet besides Fight AIDS@Home and Clean Energy 2?

Makes the choice easy for me, Clean Energy hammers my hard disk, so I'm up for a little FAAH crunching. ;D

[Dingo]

The Challenge doesn't start for over a month so maybe there will be more apps by then.  I will probably forget anyway, odtimers is setting in I think

There have been some changes to WCG, probably most interesting is there will now be progress bars to indicate how much work remains for each project. As well as new badges for 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 years of computing time.  :drool:

New WCG project. Uncovering Genome Mysteries.

[Sean]

Thanks for the heads up! Also looks like University of NSW is involved with it. 

[kashi]

Aha, just got an email about it, then found this thread.

Switching from Universe@Home right now, long time since I've done any WCG badge hunting.

[JugNut]

New project on WCG called,  Outsmart Ebola Together...

Yep, I am on it like white on rice.

The FightAIDS@Home WCG project seems to be coming to an end very soon. Very little time to get those last badges. :'(
