Fellow RD, Tim Huckaby (who many would know from his presentations when he's been in the country) has been doing some awesome demos lately of a project he's on that's helping in the fight to cure cancer. Heavy use of visualisation is involved. Recently, he's been on stage with Steve Ballmer showing this and it's getting tons of coverage.
So how does this affect you? They now want to take this to stage two and are looking for some of the brightest .NET folk on the planet to help. The work will be done remotely. Microsoft is sponsoring the project in conjunction with the Scripps Research Institute. The work would be undertaken by Interknowlogy.
They are looking for people with Winforms knowledge (preferably now WPF), Sharepoint and Office/XML.
Details of the work are mentioned on another fellow RD (Stephen Forte)'s site here: http://www.stephenforte.net/owdasblog/PermaLink.aspx?guid=81b20029-dd37-4d0c-a9f2-8e9220eae12d
