to be quite honest it surprises me that researchers here, (I imagine there ARE people researching skin cancer here in Oz) haven't found some way to move current "cancer projects" over to suit their work on melanoma....

THAT"S the one that scares the bejeezuz out of me.....  I know I would certainly put ALL resources behind such a project.

As one that has had skin cancer, I'd drop all the other projects to follow it 100%!

As one who's 95% likely to get it, I would too!  Meanwhile, cancer research generally has to help, I tell myself.

That made me think, so I did a Google and there appear to be quite a few research projects and ways of funding.

i had a thought, a boinc project to help cure baldness :)

there are only 2 or 3 privately funded companies that are making leaps n bounds in that area, so when something along the lines of a 'cure' is found, these guys are going to heavily monopolize the niche..
If there was public help in ways of boincing, maybe this info would be considered public knowledge and thus end up being cheaper for the consumers in the long run and more companies to provide the solution?

i dont actually know if there is any crunching involved in such research, but  im sure its feasable ahaha


p.s. no i not bald, but i do have a very aero-dynamic widows peak forming hahah
