I happened to work in the lab at the University of Washington that helped maintain the game as an undergrad. Here's a published scientific article about the use of Foldit for science: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature09304 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature09304
(I'm not disagreeing that the website is badly designed.)
- natch 7y agoThanks. I’d quibble about the design word... the design is ok; it’s the wording that is lacking. Or some clear thinking. I mean for all the effort they are spending on this, it would take like one paragraph or less to clear things up. It could be fixed with five minutes of effort.

- natch 7y agoSure, no argument there, although you’re being a bit over picky about semantics (even more than I was!). But my point stands that this could be fixed with a single paragraph of text.
