Mapping Cancer Markers aims to identify chemical markers associated with various types of cancer. This will help researchers detect cancer earlier and design more personalized cancer care by determining an individual's susceptibility to developing cancer and suggest the best treatment for them.

I am cleaning up my vault and found an entry about #WorldCommunityGrid

In the past I've contributed three using the #boinc client.
I can remember that in this time, they had some successes for childhood cancer.

Looks like this project is still online.

Have you ever heard of that or done similar things?

I think #SetiAtHome worked similar.

Hmm, it's getting colder again. Totally unrelated but how is the #WorldCommunityGrid doing nowadays? 🤓

#boinc

I've just removed all of my #worldcommunitygrid instances. I have been running #wcg on a number of machines for many years now but, since its migration from IBM, it has become increasingly fragmented and, not to put a finer point on it, thoroughly unreliable. I'm not prepared to continue to support an organisation that takes over 2 weeks to carry out a migration that was planned (if it was planned at all) to take an afternoon. Sad.

This is my 13th #blaugust post. No wonder I'm behind schedule if I write a post for three days... 😀 This one about what my username means to me.

Wanna join in and write about your own username?

World Community Grid enables anyone with a computer or Android device to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research on topics related to health and sustainability.

I used to say that running https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ #worldcommunitygrid is completely free, as the CPU time I put to it would otherwise go to waste as idling. Nowadays one may need to adjust that statement a bit, as there would also be the option to mine crypto currencies instead. Maybe I've lost some revenue by donating so far 95 years worth of CPU time to scientific research? No plans to change my course of action, though. This research is more important than some coins on my bank account.

For The Africa Rainfall Project my CPU time donations have been 43 days.
