What we do….
Zooniverse is a collection of online citizen science projects from across a variety of scientific disciplines.

Citizen Science
Many hands make light work….

Data, too much of a good thing?

Some things to ponder….

Crowdsourcing
Taking a big problem and breaking it into small pieces that many people can help to solve.

Why can’t a computer do this?
Can I break science if I am wrong?
