| Not being thick at all. The Briskoda folding team is nowt more but a bunch of members who have decided to use their spare processing power for the greater good. |

No it's to do with protein folding. It's a project being run by Stanford University (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/ )in the US. By using the spare processing power of thousands of machines around the world, the complex calculations can be carried out. There is also an element of competitiveness as well, which always helps! Briskoda's Folding team is currently in 135th position, out of thousands, so we're not doing too bad.
