A new online game has been created by HHMI researchers at the University of Washington where players are pitted against one another to match wits and spatial skills. The object of the game is protein folding. While this sounds kind of, well, odd – this game could help scientists better understand the human body and develop cures for a variety of diseases. You might even create a novel protein that treats or cures a disease! Read more about it at this HHMI article or go straight to the game’s website at www.fold.it
