Science Crowdsourcing - Signal Boosting

Oct 27, 2012 08:59

Should you ever find yourself with a few minutes in a day just idly clicking around on the net...

Science Crowdfunding - all current projects are here

And here are just some of those projects:

Cancer - Click to Cure
Each image you will see is a tiny tumour sample from a huge dataset. Help our scientists to accelerate the analysis of this data by identifying the coloured sections of the image using our prompts, and bring forward the cures for cancers.

Cyclones - Cyclone Center
Climate scientists need your help classifying over 30 years of tropical cyclone satellite imagery.
The global intensity record contains uncertainties caused by differences in analysis procedures around the world and through time. Scientists are
enlisting the public because patterns in storm imagery are best recognized by the human eye.

Star formation - Project Milkyway
We're asking you to help us find and draw circles on infrared image data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Understanding the material that we see in these images helps scientists to learn how stars form and how our galaxy changes and evolves with time.

Bats - Bat Detective
Jump right in and begin classifying calls. Take your ears on a drive through our database - and tell us what you see and hear. Listen out for bats, insects and other sounds.
