He's talking about the Stanford simulated protein folding project: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage Which aims to figure out how and why proteins sometimes don't 'fold' correctly, causing disease/cancer.

Yup, the other cool one is SETI and if you have a newish graphics card you can have your CPU and GPU working on stuff. Or you could use Prime95 and just look for crazy large prime numbers. I sometimes use it to stress test a computer if I'm trying to do over clocking.
