World Community Grid

So I was wondering, does anyone here run this actively? If not you should look into it, they just added the "Help Conquer Cancer" program.

If you havent seen the project it is similar to Folding@Home, they do Cancer/AIDS research mainly, and there are a few others regarding Drug development and other sort of DC related topics.

World Community Grid - Home - check it out, its definitely a worthy cause.

I currently have 3 quadcore rigs folding for the XS.org team (currrently 3rd) and I must say its a very rewarding feeling that your actually doing something for the world (and its quite competitive in a friendly manner), my sort of giving back since I rarely do anything charitable/volunteer I figured I could help out in someway besides monetary donations.

Think this will pass on a med school resume as something unique / something they may look at?
