PS3EdOlkkola's Passing
Just wanted to let the community know that PS3EdOlkkola passed away in December of last year with his Memorial being held March 4th of this year. His contributions to protein folding science were nothing short of phenomenal. We really miss having Mr. Olkkola (Ed), a very generous citizen scientists on our team. May he Rest in Peace...

Re: PS3EdOlkkola's Passing
Though I never interacted with him while he was around, I just recently passed his position on the default team. I had seen his massive contributions on the Curecoin team in the past, but until recently never realized he also folded for the default team for a while, and racked up another 700M + points for them first.
All combined, he folded over 625,000 work units. That's a massive contribution to the science.

Fold them if you get them!
