Did you know you have the power to discover new anti-cancer drugs 👩‍⚕️, map the galaxy 🔭, and find new subatomic particles ⚛️ using your computer’s spare computational power? Join us in using the BOINC software to advance the progress of science. We are a newbie-friendly space, please feel free to ask questions and give new users a helping hand. BOINC website [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/] BOINCNetwork Discord [https://discord.gg/wsRS7FWMzp] (Great place for quick support!)

Help find genes correlated with cancer, map the galaxies, or develop an open-source covid therapeutic. Whatever area of science you are interested in, there is a BOINC project you can participate in. Some of them (like the black hole database) will even credit you for your findings!

BOINC is a free app that runs on every OS (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android) that enables you to volunteer your spare computational power towards scientific research.

BOINC has been around for decades and has produced hundreds of scientific papers.

    The first 3d model of the covid spike protein (rosetta@home and folding@home), finding new drug candidates which are being tested now in wetlabs (sidock), and identifying new genes associated with lung cancer (world community grid) are just a few of its accomplishments in the past 5 years. That and continually adding to publicly accessible databases of pulsars, black holes, asteroids, and other astronomical objects found by BOINC users (einstein@home, universe@home, asteroids@home)
