All i see in the daily posts are client upgrades and which servers are up/down. Is there anything going to be posted about what new medicines or other scientific technologies that have been accredited DIRECTLY from boinc? When that happens, and the public hears about how useful boinc is, then i'm sure there would be a flood of more people volunteering their computers to aid. I've been crunching since oct 06 and i feel like i'm doing something somewhat important (protein folding/nano tech) but what the heck is it really good for?

What you see in the BOINCstats front page is fetched from the projects' news.

BOINC only gives server software to projects and client software to users (CPU time contributors) in order to easily let users compute for the projects; but BOINC isn't directly involved with the science being done. That's independent of each project. You should ask in the project forums for more information about what they're doing...
