Just tried the your link, and accessing the WCG forum directly - it looks as if they are having some issues just now as it's not possible to access them just now :-(

BOINC held one of its conference calls yesterday, primarily as an information exchange between different projects. We heard an extended description of the work that Is being done by Rosetta@Home, and how the volunteers fit into the picture.

All the resources are available in a GoogleDrive folder: BOINC Projects Call 2020_06_25

The audio recording is in 'Recording_BOINC_Projects_Call_2020_06_25.mp3'

The Rosetta segment starts with an introduction at 35:15 - refer to slides in 'robetta_boinc.pptx'

The description of the actual work you're participating in starts at 37:40 (combatting the viral infection by preventing the viral spike protein binding to cell receptors), and a second part devoted to combatting the body's cytokine storm response (the problem which causes the severe late-stage illness in some patients) starts at 45:35. Refer to 'Baker lab Boinc call.pptx' for slides on both these sections.

The Rosetta segment ends at 57:10 - well worth 22 minutes of your time.

Thanks for the post and links, Richard. Yes, well worth your time. I also listened to the rest of the conference call to see what the BOINC projects were up to lately. Interesting news of a impending new application for Milkyway for instance.

Just received a message from the Ibercivis project. They have completed the first phase of their Covid run and expect to have a "pre print" scientific article in a few weeks. However they won't have additional work units until early October.

A bit off topic. Thanks for the links Richard. Perhaps we could have a section or message board with links to the project calls and their files rather than relying on someone's google drive. If we could put them in one place. The BOINC project server would seem to be a logical choice.

Maybe we could replicate them on say Radio BOINC Network, if they are willing to host them (I haven't asked them). I figure people will be on there to listed about BOINC anyway so might be interested in what is going on.

Here's a short video from David Baker (of Rosetta@home) regarding progress on COVID targets:

Does anyone know if GPU Grid is working on Covid 19? I can't tell if they are.

No, nothing specific to COVID-19. But they do a lot of other good work, and I usually have a couple of cards on it.
They usually don't say much until a project is completed and they publish on it.

If you click on a topic, you can see their most recent publications, which seem to be in the Cancer and Methods topics.
