Gamers Solve Scientific Problems 9/27/11

How did gamers use the computer game Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery?

Mostly they untangled the structure of protein that can be used to eliminate the AIDS virus in humans because of their structure of models they created.

Who can participate in this problem solving and be a player in Foldit?

Technically this project is for anyone, the person could be with no background of solving puzzles or even know about the science that scientist use these days.

What can critical thinking do for science?

Well in depends, what kind of critical thinking you are trying to reach.For example University of Washington solution has to be with people with a lot of critical thinking to make the project right.In my opinion it can also cure a virus or even create a new species with critical thinking anything is possible

If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be?

I would definitely cure any type of cancer, that is my goal. Cancer as effected a lot of families and in some point it came to my family and thank fully it was just beginning so we got to cure it in time.It is my goal to find a better way to cure cancer and even prevent it but it a ll starts with one which is me and I will keep moving forward slowly but shurly will achieve my goal.

Mini Game 2011

In my free time it depends what I am doing for example if I am reading then I will keep reading until I get sleepy or if I am playing around or probably just watching TV I will get my computer and watch music videos of course appropriate videos and if I get bored which is always I will play like always educational games that will help me not make me do things that I didn't even know that I could do.In my free time I like to play educational but still fun games like I said, there is always something to do in my humble home if it is boring or fun at least your doing something, anyways I like to go to websites such as cool math games.com and mush more and surprisingly they are really fun.I love playing games especially knowing that they are helping me in a whole lot of ways.

911 survivors 2011

This game is about the terrorist attack on September 11 2001 and killed to many people that in some point it was hard to count each victim.The way that I feel about the this topic is really hard to explain the attack from my point of view because I cant handle this kind of accident.Well the topic should not be shown because some people who experienced it might freak out as well to show respect to those that had a family member lost they might take it as a offence.Well instead of making the game tell facts and how many people died, I don't think that people should make games about his but explain what happened as a sign of respect.
