Many have seen our postings on the FReeper Folding@home team, but for newcomers and those with new systems, please consider helping out.

Stanford University is running a distributed computing effort called Folding@home, which allows users to run a simulation of protein folding on our computers. Currently well over 420,000 computers are crunching the simulation trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, along with other diseases that are related to misfolded proteins (prions).

Please consider joining the effort as part of team 36120 - Free Republic Folders - A Tribute to Ronald Reagan. We keep about 200 active FReeprs and friends running the simulation on around 1,000 computers and Playstation 3.
