Viral Research Firm? I thought F@H was run out of Stanford University.
Edit: it's run out of Washington University (St. Louis School of Medicine) so it's definitely neither a firm nor viral. Mods should change the title.
- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoIndeed. Not a firm, and not viral research either (that is just one consequence).

- dang 7y agoFixed now. Submitted title was "Viral research firm 'Folding at Home' has 400K users fighting C19 with CPU power".
