World Community Grid

Status update: analyzing cancer drugs

World Community Grid StatsWhile doing good is its own reward, it’s nice to be able to brag about it now and then. Here is a Facebook application that will allow you (or your nonprofit) to boast a little about all the great work you’re doing on the World Community Grid.

Stop and Congratulate Yourselves: a World Community Grid accomplishment

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.

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.
