More on Citizen science approaches
Let's build on what we learned last week from Jason Bobe's lecture. His focus is both highly specific to medicine, but also with lots of room for applications to the environmental sciences. Crowdsourcing methods are a great way to bring people in to our research. One of the best-established citizen science platforms is Zooniverse, where citizen scientists work together with researchers to classify images, historical records, and videos- enabling huge amounts of data to be processed with greater accuracy, and in a fraction of the time of conventional methods. Let's watch watch this video to get the discussion going:
