Again, welcome to all the new players that have recently joined Foldit and thank you to all the veteran Foldit players who have been helping everybody out!
It seems like the swell of new players has slowly gone down. Some players were asking how big that wave of new users was, so we wanted to show you the stats:
and you can compare these numbers to last month:
We also want to let all the new players know that even when you are not playing Foldit you can still help us fold proteins to fight diseases by installing Rosetta@home:

By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. We often post Rosetta models outputted from Rosetta@home as Foldit puzzles.
