World Community Grid: Help researchers find an Ebola cure

[RSS]

The Ebola virus is a significant global health threat and is responsible for a growing humanitarian crisis in West Africa. Currently, there are no proven treatments or vaccines. We’re launching Outsmart Ebola Together to help researchers find a cure. Dr. Erica Ollmann Saphire of The Scripps Research Institute tells us more about the project and what she hopes to achieve together.

Another new WCG app so soon? I guess the race is on...

[DrBackJack]

It's listed today on WCG as an available project.
There is a new badge for it too. ;)

Sweet! Android too!

I'm not a big WCG cruncher, but this is cool - I might actually crunch this one. ;)

Has anyone gotten work units for this project yet? I signed up for it yesterday but haven't seen anything come down the line yet.

I think I've had one come through so far, but I'm running a mix of everything they have available at the moment.

[Bok]

I've completed a bunch of these and have at least 50 on my machines at the moment.

I'm also getting them, along with some Beta Ebola 7.07

[zombie67]

They seem to be released in batches. Just have a zero resource backup project. Your queue will eventually fill up with ebola. ;)

So far, I am here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/images/pb/oet1_1.jpg

I picked up some "BETA test" hours for WUProp, but it wasn't sub-project specific. Either way, fun to have another subproject to work on and another badge to work towards. Happy to see Android WU's will be available.

Never get one of Ebola till now. :p

Immediately after the SIMAP challenge there is one on WCG. I suppose since I need badges for Ebola & Genome Mysteries, I'll plan on running the challenge - with a bunker if possible. Meanwhile, I can't pass up these big credits on Universe :cool:

We think alike ... I need the new WCG badge but I'm sitting on Universe instead. It is hard deciding whether to be a credit ho or a badge ho =)) Hey maybe we should see about having Universe badges and then we could kill 2 birds ........
