Hi Mark
Ah - well spotted - I'd been counting
all of their teams crunching and not counting just the Cancer based sub-projects.
(From the teams website (which I'd sadly not paid much attention to
):
"My goal is to do 1,000 years of cancer research before my Dad’s next birthday in September 2020."
In which case they will fall well short...

Project Points Generated Results Returned Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) - Status
Mapping Cancer Markers 710,567,514 961,375 463:022:12:06:23 - Active
Smash Childhood Cancer 68,259,255 226,561 31:157:09:27:03 - Intermittent
So, that's about 494 years...for Cancer research.
I'm not sure about their claim:
Since September 2019 we've done 891 years, 32 days, 20 hours of cancer research
as of 8/27/20
Total research time includes four projects:
(Mapping Cancer Markers, the Microbiome Immunity Project, Smash Childhood Cancer, and OpenPandemics COVID-19)
The Covid-19 and Microbiome sub-projects are dealing with virus and bacterial issues (respectively) which I don't think can be regarded as "cancers"?
And it seems that sometime after 14th Dec 2019, someone re-wrote the footer of their home page to add the non-cancer related sub-projects:

Sad that this was needed really...

...and about 506 years on other projects
Maybe they need to change the website to reflect the numbers for actual cancer research?
But still give the lad "kudos" for making a big effort on behalf of his dad.
