  1. The rise of citizen cyberscience and its impact on professional research François Grey Citizen Cyberscience Centre, Geneva CERN/UNITAR/UNIGE

  2. Citizen Cyberscience: The largest scientific resource on the planet 1bn 5bn 7bn

  3. Who are the volunteers? Vinternet > 1 C/s

  4. Citizen Cyberscience: A range of methodologies and technologies Volunteer Computing (e.g. BOINC) Mobile Science (e.g. EpiCollect) Volunteer Thinking (e.g. Zooniverse)

  5. SETI@home: >1M CPU

  6. Einstein@home: quasar discovery (Science)

  7. ClimatePrediction.net: effect of global warming on extreme weather (Nature)

  8. Folding@home > 1 petaflop

  9. LHC@home > 10,000 CPU-year

  10. GalaxyZoo > 200,000 volunteers

  11. Herbaria@home < 200 volunteers

  12. Foldit: volunteer-driven discovery

  13. Citizen Cyberscience Centre 2007 2008 2009 CERN, University of Geneva, UN Institute for Training and Research

  14. Example: MalariaControl.net

  15. MalariaControl.net STI model predictions of vaccine cost-effectiveness: $1 - $10 per dose with 52% efficacy $4.73 - $34.43 per fully-immunized child $450 - $3,500 per death averted $12 - $96 per disability adjusted life year $2.7M - $19.8M per year for Mozambique

  16. MalariaControl.net

  17. 2011: Citizen Cyberscience goes global

  18. The 7 myths of citizen cyberscience • It doesn’t produce real science • It won’t work for my science • Nobody will be interested in my science • You can’t trust results from ordinary people • It is energetically hugely wasteful • It doesn’t really engage people in science • One day we will run out of volunteers

  19. New trends in Citizen Cyberscience
