While SETI was fun, the goals of F@H are more modest - push the boundaries of biomedical science in a real and tangible way.

The link above has a list of the 96 currently published peer-reviewed papers.

At some point, each person makes their choice about the balance between their electric bill and folding.

I will gladly donate $10 per month in power if one day I know that my efforts helped save someone’s loved one.

While I'm not sure exactly how "worthwhile" one might say it is, if you look at the FAH homepage, they have links to peer reviewed papers that are based on the results of the FAH work.
