This is for Elizabeth (and other Flemings)

So I have been playing a new video game that I believe is perfect for Elizabeth (and maybe the rest of you. You might have heard of it but it is still fun to check out I suggest you do. It is a program called FoldIt. It is a protein folding video game that is very addicting and rather competitive. The use people who play the game as protein folders to determine he 3D structure of proteins. Some people even get published from it (See attached link). Anyway it turns out humans are way better at this then computers and therefor I suggest you all give it a try. Let me know if you do
