Missing acknowlegement of Pande Lab in Folding@home site

Post by jnv11 »

I noticed that while the Pande Lab and Stanford are no longer the main maintainers of Folding@home, I would expect that the acknowledgments page at https://foldingathome.org/about/the-fol ... onsortium/ to list Stanford and/or the Pande Lab in it. I know that the Pande Lab and/or Stanford used to have a section in the about page in https://foldingathome.org/about/ as seen in https://web.archive.org/web/20180911023 ... org/about/, but that section was removed. There is a section in https://foldingathome.org/about/the-fol ... onsortium/ for past collaborators under the heading "Other past and present collaborators include:", so I would have expected the section about the Pande Lab to be moved there. Not acknowledging the work that the Pande Lab somewhere in the Folding@home web site does not sit right with me.

I will pass your comments on to someone who can look into it. I do know there is supposed to be some people working on creating an updated site, no idea when that may roll out. Dr Pande is shown as one of the F@h Ambassadors on the current main page for the site.

Dr. Pande is listed as a Adjunct Professor at Stanford University. As far as I know, he isn't working there except perhaps coordinating some research activities. I'm not sure what that means for the Pande Lab. Their webpage has been restricted. There still are names of several folks who contribute to the team "Pande Lab" but I have no way of knowing if they're active students or simply old computers that are still folding. Dr Pande is employed elsewhere.

I have found a functioning web site for the Pande Lab at https://www.pandelab.org/. However, I think that it might be outdated.
