Citizen Science |

RuyLopez writes "In my prior incarnation here at CastleCops, I was privileged to serve as Science Advisor to Team CastleCops. Working in close collaboration with Robin, Dragan Glas, and PCBruiser, we attempted to define a new strategic vision and broadened mission for Team CastleCops that transcended its historical rôle. Our objectives were highly ambitious and quite challenging in that they encompassed not only discussion and support of various individual distributed computing projects, but also sought to actively advance science education and understanding on a broad scale. Despite our lengthy and best efforts, we failed.
I really do not like failure, and being a scientist and being rather prone to introspection, I have often revisited a basic premise that my good friends and I shared in our endeavor to redefine Team CastleCops. That premise can be readily articulated: citizen participation can indeed contribute positively and substantively to the advancement of scientific research."

Hoov writes "Last week Satchick went over 1,500,000 points and this week Barrius did the same. This has helped Team CastleCops come very close to 10 million points. You can check out the various rankings of these individuals and the rest of Team CastleCops at Team CastleCops
While the scores are not important to those of us Participating in the Folding @ Home distributed computing program, it does server as a marker on how much work is being done to a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer, Huntington's Disease, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Parkinson's Disease, and
Ribosome & antibiotics interaction. Come join Team CastleCops' Folding @ Home Team (team number 35586) help find a cure or treatment for these diseases.

Global Warming and Climate Change Forum opens |
|
|
!RuyLopez writes "Team CastleCops, the science and science education component of the CastleCops community, is pleased to announce the opening of a new forum dedicated to Global Warming and Climate Change.
This new forum will provide news coverage of this important and timely topic. It will also provide the CastleCops membership with a place for thoughtful, objective discussions of the scientific and public policy issues directly relevant to Global Warming and Climate Change. Discussions of responsible public actions that individuals might choose to pursue to make a difference at the local, regional, national, or global level will also be welcome.
Currently, coverage is focused upon the two reports recently published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007, and Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability.
