Gamification of Disease Research

[hollyt]

I ran across this exciting article on Disabilityreports.org around gamification of disease research and how gamers solved an HIV research problem in 3 weeks and scientist had been working on it for years. The future of gamification seems like it could be exciting for ALS although I haven't seen anything yet that would indicate any of the ALS research orgs are using the methodology. If anyone runs across anything please share.
