Help find genes correlated with cancer, map the galaxies, or develop an open-source covid therapeutic. Whatever area of science you are interested in, there is a BOINC project you can participate in. Some of them (like the black hole database) will even credit you for your findings!
BOINC is a free app that runs on every OS (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android) that enables you to volunteer your spare computational power towards scientific research.
BOINC has been around for decades and has produced hundreds of scientific papers.
Been running boinc / World Community Grid jobs for like 10+ years straight. Has all sorts of throttling settings, so it’s pretty much set it and forget it, it doesn’t interfere with other apps I run.

What a strange coincidence. It’s been a while since I donated some of mine, but I turned it all on an hour ago as power is very cheap for us right now. And now there’s this post. :D
Scientific progress goes BOINC!
Anyone know of specific things that have been accomplished from people donating power to boinc?

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
They could pay me instead
