BOINC lets you use your PC to do scientific research.
|
|
BOINC is a 'platform' that is used by a number of <i>projects</i>,
|
|
located at various universities around the world,
|
|
doing research in many areas.

|
You can do work for multiple projects.
|
|
It's easy to do, even if you have no computer experience.
|
|
Just <a href=index.php>follow the directions on the BOINC home page</a>.
