I have somehow "friended" in Facebook something called BOINC Info. I do not remember how I got to it or it got to me.

There was a post informing us of a BBC Radio piece on "Citizen Science", all about BOINC. It was excellent.

I find no notice of the BBC piece in the BOINC Message Boards.

So, what is the origin of BOINC Info?

Oded Nov

Sure you spelled his name right? Not Oded Bendov, the developer of BOINCOID?

I am sure I did as he emailed me with the answer when I contacted the developers of the application. His website: http://www.poly.edu/user/onov
