We are excited to let everyone know that the first Foldit "trophy" has been delivered! You may remember that Boots McGraw's design for the puzzle "187: More Core Design" (http://fold.it/portal/node/986677) was the first Foldit design to be tested in the lab (http://fold.it/portal/node/986908) - although the lab test didn't work out as we'd hoped (http://fold.it/portal/node/987148). To celebrate, the people at 3D Molecular Designs (http://www.3dmoleculardesigns.com/) were nice enough to make a model of Boots' design and donate it to us!
Here are some photos:
He says, "I will bring it to the office and leave it on my desk; so when my co-workers once again ask why I don't want to play 'Farmville' with them, I will show them the model and tell them I am 'busy curing cancer, AIDS, and the common cold'".
Thanks Boots and thanks to everyone for their contributions to Foldit! We'll continue looking for ways to reward our players!
