World Community Grid
For almost 20 years, I have been a contributor to the World Community Grid and been involved in a number of projects. As mentioned in the WCG website:
World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health, poverty and sustainability. Through the contributions of volunteers all over the globe, World Community Grid has supported 31 research projects to date, including searches for more effective treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS and neglected tropical diseases. Other projects are looking for low-cost water filtration systems and new materials for capturing solar energy efficiently.
Knowing that you help scientists finding a cure for various diseases can be very gratifying and I encourage you to join the WCG by clicking here, or on the widget at the bottom of the page.
