<p><strong><em>Today, we have a guest blog post by Vickie Curtis, a research student in the UK's Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology. She's working with the Folding@home team to glean more feedback from donors.</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>Would you like to learn more about the Folding@home community and your contribution to it? </strong>I am a doctoral student at the

Institute for Educational Technology at the Open University in the UK. I am looking at how digital

technologies are changing the way scientists interact with members of the wider public, and I am

particularly interested in online 'citizen science' projects such as Folding@home. </p>

<p>Folding@home is one of the

longest-running and most successful online citizen science projects, and it would

be great to know a little more about why people contribute to the Folding@home

community, their views about the project, and about these types of project in

general. I have prepared an online

survey for participants, which should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The feedback will be shared with the

Folding@home team and may help them to make improvements to the project. I will also share the findings with you via

the website and blog. </p>

<p>All the information you supply will

be kept on a secure server and not passed to any third parties. If you would like to take part, please follow
