Stop and Congratulate Yourselves: a World Community Grid accomplishment
Submitted by kelda on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 1:11pm.This week some of us got a cheering email from the World Community Grid: the first phase of the "Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together" project is complete. We're down from about three million candidate antiviral molecules to several thousand. Next up, lots of number crunching in phase two to refine that list down to the point that the University of Texas researchers can make and test the possibilities in the lab. So if you got an email in your inbox this week thanking you for your efforts, whether you contributed 2 hours or 200, take a moment to pat yourself on the back.
