With all the lockdowns and slowdowns, shall we have some computational fun for a good cause? By simply running a free program, you can help advance research in medicine, clean energy, and materials science. There are two popular initiatives (related and complimentary, but not duplicates of each other) out there, both contributing to current and new COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 work:
Rosetta@Home and Folding@Home.
I think
Rosetta@Home is currently better organized and the more stable of the two. Take a look, consider, and if you decide to contribute, join the Rosetta@Home team "
Bimmerpost" that I just created. Here is some reading and links to get started quickly:
