What’s Happening This Fall

RainyCampus_35Fall quarter is under way, and the office here is humming with activity – we can’t discuss all of it yet, but we have some exciting new projects in the works. Until then, we can check in on our current projects and give you an update on where we’ll be next.

Foldit continues to lead the way in crowdsourcing mentions, with mentions and write-ups recently by Scinexx (German science magazine), Huffington Post, and the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. In case you missed it on Twitter, Foldit is also giving followers a sneak peek behind the scenes every Friday until the end of the quarter. We’re doing this by sharing pictures in the lab taken by one of our scientists. In Nanocrafter news, we’re fixing some of our most interesting bugs and reintroducing early challenges for the community to see how effective our changes have been. If you haven’t been by lately – give Nanocrafter a look!

Coming up, these fresh events for your calendar!

  • Pacific Science Center Life Sciences Research Center on November 6-8, 2015. Foldit scientists will be on hand each day during this event to provide hands-on science and face-to-face time! Entry to this event is included with the price of general admission – FREE for Pacific Science Center Members.
  • Computing Open House, 1pm – 5pm on Saturday, December 5th, 2015. This fun event for middle/high school students and families kicks off the start of Computer Science Education Week every year, so we can’t wait to see you there.
