zooniverse

Dr Chris Lintott, University of Oxford

Researchers from fields as disparate as astrophysics and papyrology are facing a deluge of data. The solution taken by Zooniverse is to recruit hundreds of thousands of volunteers and present them with an authentic opportunity to contribute to research. Chris will outline the team’s projects, explain the technical challenges and look to the future potential.
