WORKING TOGETHER
we find out more!

you??
Merci!
Questions?
Common Idea:
participation of non-experts in the
acquisition or analysis of
scientific data is
'citizen science'
DNA Repair
common
habits
mutagenic hair dye
in the sampling campaign 2017
UV confirmation of E. coli
Swiss Litter Report
Brought together with WWF, thanks
to Hackuarium #OH night lecture!
'data analyses' and
helping interns brought
in to 'run' project
French & German
sides of Switzerland!
Workshop Groups:
1) quantitative micronuclei
2) quantitative microbiology
3) moss life and cells
4) foldscopes (x5) & the above
5) other??
flyer campaign
bang bang
10 languages
WaterDrop DNA
hidden formaldehyde
AGiR! Action for
Genomic integrity
through Research!
Mike Horn as 'parrain'
(godfather)! :)
Hammerdirt
to collect more
water samples during his Pole2Pole!!
Roger and Shannon 'collecting data'
and then rowing on a lovely summer day...
& Anna
art call
not a beach 'clean up,' because the latter can never be done!
Paula Pin: opensource gyneco
Drew Berry's
nucleosomes
you always find more trash!
AGiR!
for
Genomic integrity!
publication
documentation
drawbacks
For All
*less expertise
*less focus
*less possibility to push to meet deadlines...
- volunteers, after all
Citizen Science
DIT Research

Do It Together!
three non-profit associations
a few
start-ups
and
independents
democratisation of science!
access
expertise
fun
differing meanings, with citizens as:
sources of info - citizens as sensors
distributed intel - citizens as interpreters
participatory - citizens working together
*both in defining the problem and
*collecting and analysing data
extreme - collaborative science...
better public understanding of science!
hypotheses
control cases
significance/quantitative analyses
documentation
EVERYONE
can benefit via
citizen science!
Extreme
Advantages of
Citizen Science
'Biohackers'
following a code of ethics!
*facilitate investigations, especially in microbiology
*recent attempts
to make Hackuarium sustainable (pea plant symbiosis, dog microbiome...)
The most important benefit:
to get the public involved in
scientific research!
more established
projects
FOLDSCOPE
BEERDECODED
LIVING INSTRUMENTS
OCTANIS
already on to
data collection
and analyses
and I am against making ones out of plastic...
world tours, stratospheric heights,
gallons of pints...
and finally shipping latest
version of Foldscope!
ours is old design!!

life constraints
statistical requirements
expertise can be found in unexpected places
