    Hi everyone,

    Today I fired up Folding@Home for the first time in years to help contribute in small part to the COVID19 research work being hosted on the platform.

    Upon setting up I noticed there is a team for NBR. In the spirit of community if you have some spare processing power and or simply want to contribute to this noble cause here is some info that might help.

    NBR team ID: 213698
    Current ranking: 575 out of 25587
    To work on COVID project: select "any disease"
    https://foldingathome.org/

    Cheers and take care of yourselves and family during this trying time.

    It seems to actually be taking off like crazy :) in March it passed 1 exaflop and now it has passed 2 exaflops of power or about 6 times more powerful than the fastest traditional super computer.
