Gamers Solve Scientific Problems


How did gamers use the computer game Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery?
By building a molecular structure of the AIDS virus.
Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit?
Anyone.
What can critical thinking do for science?
It can make more possibilities become certain than just looking for other solutions.
If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be? Mine would be Ebola because it was a man made disease and is still out there. I think it might have been made to not be cured.
