Are there other projects that can be supported by "computing power"?

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I've reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again...

Rosetta@home on BOINC did some great work on helping COVID-19 research https://boinc.bakerlab.org
