140826_gamer_bigYesterday, two great stories appeared about our work with the Institute For Protein Design and Foldit. The first is this great selection from the Seattle Times, titled “Gamers helping UW in Ebola research”, pointing out “Months before the recent Ebola outbreak erupted in Western Africa, killing more than a thousand people, scientists at the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design were looking for a way to stop the deadly virus.”

Next, IPD graduate student Brian Koepnick was interviewed by KOMO TV for a segment on using Foldit! If you’re ready to join in the fun and haven’t yet, start playing today!
