So... a bunch of nerds who live in their mom's basement, and who have proably never had sex with a real woman, might help make it safer for the world to have casual sex?

Ironic, isn't it?

Very interesting. From the article:

It is believed to be the first time that gamers have resolved a long-standing scientific problem.

“We wanted to see if human intuition could succeed where automated methods had failed” Firas Khatib of the university's biochemistry lab said in a press release.

“The ingenuity of game players is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems.”

Nerds FTW. There are so many cool things going on in science and tech. It’s a great time to be alive.

They should all get scholarships to Adams College.
