I just saw a remarkable take on an age-old problem: Protein Folding.
David Baker at the University of Washington converted the problem of protein folding into an interactive game that we can play. Just imagine!! A game!! Check it out at Fold.it (currently beeing /. to death)
Smart they! They’re actually trying to train us like a neural network of sorts- first we learn to fold known protein structures, and then the group will release new “puzzles” of unknown or unreleased structures and see how the the borg collective does against other folding projects .
