http://www.yahoo.com/s/457108 <== Is the link I have at this moment I will update this as soon as I have extra details. This is not good news, this is very bad news to the human race. But to a researcher this gives more insight to just how bad the fight needs to keep going to find the cures we are looking for!

I cannot remember if there are any projects that cover finding a cure for Aids. Can anyone list any projects that cover it?

The old FightAidsAtHome project was merged on WCG this year and I think it's been happily running on that platform ever since. What I don't know is if it runs on the classic WCG or the boinc WCG... (or both?)

On the same topic, but a different note, AMD Users was the top team today in Malaria Control based on recent average!

Part of the recent average credit has risen due to me building to 10,000 points. Of course now that it's reached i've moved on to build up to 10,000 points on proteins and abc. After that i really wanna have a stab at WCG.

WCG are doing a few projects now, all of which I run on BOINC (they all come under the same project name, just the WU title is different).

It runs on both the Windows Agent (UD Agent) and BOINC. All WCG projects run on both, though the HPF2 project is currently suspended on BOINC awaiting further testing.
