 Are you using your computer while you sleep?  Are you anxious for this self-exile to end?  Put your computer to use and find a solution to this covid-19 epidemic.

Coronavirus and Folding at Home; More on How Your Computer Helps Medical Research
 by Mike Szczys   |

 
On Wednesday morning we asked the Hackaday community to donate their extra computer cycles for Coronavirus research. On Thursday morning the number of people contributing to Team Hackaday had doubled, and on Friday it had doubled again. Thank you for putting those computers to work in pursuit of drug therapies for COVID-19.

I'm writing today for two reasons, we want to keep up this trend, and also answer some of the most common questions out there. Folding at Home (FAH) is an initiative that simulates proteins associated with several diseases, searching for indicators that will help medical researchers identify treatments. These are complex problems and your efforts right now are incredibly important to finding treatments faster. FAH loads the research pipeline, generating a data set that researchers can then follow in every step of the process, from identifying which chemical compounds may be effective and how to deliver them, to testing they hypothesis and moving toward human trials.
