      There was this citizen science project where few tried to manually fold proteins. Unfortunately, the computer was better than us at it, and we didn’t contribute much. I sucked. However, I contributed my PC resources for a rather short while to some random cancer research project. I don’t remember the details, I figured it was a better use of idle computer time than mining bitcoins.

      Boy was I wrong.
