Thanks jimerickson for noticing this first! I just wanted to point out the new blog post: http://folding.typepad.com/news/2012/05 ... -2012.html

On Friday May 25 at Stanford University, we had the first "all-hands on deck" scientific conference for the Folding@home Consortium. The goals were to discuss recent scientific advances, share new techniques for how to better use FAH, as well as to plan for new infrastructure advancements in FAH for the next year.

I'll blog about some important news from the meeting in future posts. For now, I'll mention that the meeting worked out very well, with lots of new scientific advancements mentioned as well as great discussions on how we can make FAH better from the scientific and donor points of view.

Here's a picture of (almost all of) the attendees. [pic with caption]

I'm really pleased that this was put together! Sounds like a fantastic idea, and I'm glad to hear that it went well.
As an aside, the image and its caption allows us to put faces to the PG members who post here.

Dr. Snow's research is quite intriguing, and its interesting that he chose F@h for designing synthetic proteins. The post mentioned medicine, but the focus seemed to be on biofuel. I hope his WUs jive well with the "I fold for a cure" group.

And Dr. Huang's post is amazing and exciting!
