Distributed Computing
One can share computer time for distributed research projects doing influenza research.
Folding@Home, a distributed computing program from Stanford University, is researching how viruses pass through the cell membrane (whereas most treatments focus on preventing viral replication) and what role proteins have. They are currently focussing their research on influenza.
Rosetta@Home is working on a Spanish flu inhibitor to block the flu infection.

Famous quotes containing the word distributed:
“Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
