      Will definitely sign up to this. I used to do the SETI@Home thing for a while, leaving it to run overnight when I wasn't working.

          Folding@home apparently has more computing power to hand than the world's top seven supercomputers combined.

                It may be based over there but all data generated are published freely and openly, to be used by scientists everywhere

                    Had this over here:

                    WirVsVirus - Der Hackathon der Bundesregierung - Corona / Covid-19

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
