What is the Foldathon?

The Foldathon is a 2-day period each month where we Fold on any and all clients we can get our hands on. You might not be able to Fold 24/7, but if you're a Folder, there's no excuse not to Fold for these 48 hours.

This year, we're using every second Foldathon to highlight some of the lesser known diseases that the Folding@Home Project researches (directly or indirectly).

What is Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease (CJD)?

Quote:

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative brain disorder. Symptoms usually start around age 60. Memory problems, behavior changes, vision problems and poor muscle coordination progress quickly to dementia, coma and death. Most patients die within a year.

The three main categories of CJD are

sporadic CJD, which occurs for no known reason

hereditary CJD, which runs in families

acquired CJD, which occurs from contact with infected tissue, usually during a medical procedure

Cattle can get a disease related to CJD called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or "mad cow disease." There is concern that people can get a variant of CJD from eating beef from an infected animal, but there is no direct proof to support this.

Referral Rules:

You refer someone to the Foldathon, and they name you as the referrer. The first Foldathon they fold in will be when they count.

Any points they make for the Foldathon will then be the referrer's "Referred Points" (RP's).

The three members with the most RP's will then win the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes and are removed from the Random Draw.

If a referred member participates, then they along with their referrer will also be added to a pool for a random drawing of an OCN Ducky Keyboard.
