As the SETI@home project has stopped handing out work units I was on the lookout for a new project to donate some spare compute cycles to and given the current state of affairs, the best option was the Folding@Home project which is researching protein folding of the corona virus.
And since you can setup teams for it, of course that is what I did.
Getting Started
head to https://foldingathome.org/ and hit the Start Folding Now button, download the app, get it running.
Joining the Lankyland team
Open up the Web Control interface once you have it installed, click Change Identity in the top left and add in these details.

Then sit back and smile a smug smile as your computer churns through data to help find a cure for the corona virus.
