Citizen Science things
Found several fun-looking citizen science things in my internet wormhole today:
Foldit! Protein-folding research game
Humans play a game to find the best ways to fold proteins, scientists use the data to program better computer modules which then help with disease treatments.
The Baby Laughter Project
What makes babies laugh? One or more (human) babies required. Hypothesis is that babies laugh when something unexpected happens.
Lots and lots of dog-related citizen science (and one cat one, and some resources)
Things for dog-owners and also people currently lacking their own dog. Like, what do dog barks mean to you? And also playing games with your dog. And fun thiiiings. The cat one is for indoor/outdoor cats, and involves tracking where they goooooo.
