Since the winter is basically already here, you might be cold at home. Instead of running a space heater in your room, maybe set up your computers to do some important science! It can put your hardware to the test, but every core counts!

There are a bunch of projects out there, ranging from medical research to space exploration. You can also run any number of these projects at once since they all use the BOINC manager to run.

A few cool projects I personally contribute to are:

IBM World Community Grid:

A project comprised of somewhat smaller projects mostly for the medical field, researching diseases like Cancer, AIDS, and Ebola. Quite a few scientific papers came out of this project. This is an awesome one to start out with if you don't know what to contribute to first.
