1) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : MAJOR UPDATES to the Rosetta@home website (Message 80833) Posted 11 Nov 2016 by IanH Post: Hi everyone! My name is Ian and I'm a PhD student in David Baker's lab in Seattle. I am using Rosetta to try to design new enzymes from scratch. Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. It's enzymes that make life on Earth possible. I'd be happy to share more about my research later, but that's not the point of this post... I am writing to let you all know that major updates are coming to the Rosetta@home website soon. Our home on the web will be getting a much needed facelift. We want to update and clarify the site contents, modernize the look and feel, and, importantly, we want to streamline the process of signing up new members. Rosetta@home is a powerful scientific resource. It's each one of you who contributes to the research we do in a meaningful way. And we want to make sure this amazing community grows! Here is a link showing the look and feel we are planning for the updated website. Please check it out and let me know what you think in this thread. Note that the link I just gave you goes to a preview site - it is incomplete and many of the links don't work (so don't share it on social media please). It is also subject to change. But I would love to hear what you all think of it! With this big update we are also planning on providing you all with more feedback about how your participation in Rosetta@home is impacting the science we do. There are so many exciting things happening! I look forward to posting a lot in these forums. Speaking of forums - we are going to try to merge the existing social content (i.e. message boards) onto the new site. We don't want to lose out history! I just want to say thanks to all of you for making this such as exciting time for protein design and protein research generally. We are on the cusp of some absolutely amazing discoveries that will change the world. Thank you for participating in R@h!! - Ian
