But what made the first Summit so special, and we're hoping will be the hallmark of the second one, is the participation of a good deal of real citizen scientists. Indeed, a whole panel session will be devoted to "the citizens of citizen science".</div><div><br /></div><div>A novelty this year will be a presentation by two high school students. Not just any high school, mind you. These students go to the Simon Langton Grammar School in Canterbury, where Becky Parker, a super teacher, gets kids involved in building cosmic ray detectors and designing satellites. </div><div><br /></div><div>The students, Louis Wilson and Chris Cundy, will talk about <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/Scientix/cernschool-becky-parker">CERN@school</a>, an ambitious programme to build a network of cosmic ray detectors across the UK and one day the whole world. </div><div><br /></div><div>Becky's students have also been involved in testing the latest version of <a href="http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/test4theory/">CERN@home</a>, called Test4Theory, where volunteers can simulate an atom-smasher on their home computer... and help theoretical physicists at CERN hunt for new fundamental particles like the Higgs boson.</div><div><br /></div><div>The session with Louis and Chris should be an exciting one. It kicks off this Friday 17/2 at 14:00. Nice of Becky to let her students play hooky and go to London for the day!</div>francois@homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02580921034467267693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163745820374234480.post-17303502328270450302012-01-02T04:04:00.004+01:002012-01-02T04:19:45.137+01:002nd London Citizen Cyberscience Summit 16-18 February<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0jdllv3ZqVj2K6lc6D7Flvh5eJIJRGiZRzXqkPJBSUHqTNgWOtwzeQo_Gs3X-RLekVwAb59clt-2-9ROjsPXByAM_6T-NHafqaHly8aM0YQmMBOYNhBnZQaQF4JuYBYMAtwjS2uSlIxY/s1600/CCCSummitPoster2012.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0jdllv3ZqVj2K6lc6D7Flvh5eJIJRGiZRzXqkPJBSUHqTNgWOtwzeQo_Gs3X-RLekVwAb59clt-2-9ROjsPXByAM_6T-NHafqaHly8aM0YQmMBOYNhBnZQaQF4JuYBYMAtwjS2uSlIxY/s320/CCCSummitPoster2012.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692868023828272018" /></a><p class="text-basic" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><strong style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; color: rgb(182, 23, 65); ">On your marks…</strong><br /><br />The London Citizen Cyberscience Summit in 2010 brought together for the first time <span class="Text-bold" style="font-weight: bold; ">volunteers and scientists</span> from a wide range of Web-based science projects, ranging from volunteer computing (SETI@home,ClimatePrediction.net) to volunteer thinking (GalaxyZoo, Herbaria@home) to volunteer sensing (EpiCollect, NoiseTube) and much more.<span class="Text-bold" style="font-weight: bold; "> Historians, journalists, teachers and businessmen</span> all brought their angle on citizen cyberscience to the event.

Groups hacked on everything from tracking the mega-carbon-footprint of the mega-rich when they fly their private jets, to tracking where toilet waste actually goes after New Yorkers flush.<br /><br />With colleagues from Brazil, we worked on testing <a href="http://bossa.berkeley.edu">Bossa</a>, an open-source platform for volunteer thinking, which we want to use for a deforestation monitoring project called ForestWatchers (which was just selected for a grant from the Open Society Foundations).<br /><br />In Cape Town (actually, nearby Muizenberg), an <a href="http://africaathome.eventbrite.com/">Africa@home Data/Science Hackfest</a> was hosted by the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences. We'd run a workshop on volunteer computing at AIMS back in 2007, which in many ways was a trigger for the creation of the Citizen Cyberscience Centre, so it was nice to come back again, and Jan Groenewald was as ever a fantastically effective and flexible host.<br /><br />Africa@home was co-organized with a bunch of Fellows from the Shuttleworth Foundation: Kathi Fletcher of Connexions, Mark Horner of Siyavula, Philipp Schmidt of P2PU and last but not least, Rufus Pollock of the Open Knowledge Foundation.<br /><br />Volunteer thinking was very much the flavour of the event, with projects on digitizing 19th century notebooks of Bushmen history, spotting potential breeding grounds for malaria in images taken by field workers and analyzing radio astronomy data in search of signals from solar flares. Rufus raised the stakes by launching <a href="https://github.com/citizen-cyberscience-centre/pybossa">pyBossa</a>, together with Daniel Lombraña González of the CCC: it's a python-based version of the open-source Bossa platform that should make it much easier to build volunteer thinking projects.<br /><br />Next year, the hackfestivities continue: London, Taipei and Bangalore are on the agenda...watch this space!francois@homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02580921034467267693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163745820374234480.post-68199091740437561952011-08-21T22:00:00.006+02:002011-08-21T22:25:12.719+02:00LHC@home 2.0 - towards a virtual atom smasherThe Citizen Cyberscience Centre was in the news just about everywhere last week, thanks to a <a href="http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2011/PR13.11E.html" rel="nofollow">CERN press release</a> that mentioned the testing of the new <a href="http://lhcathome.web.cern.ch/LHCathome/Physics/">LHC@home 2.0</a> volunteer computing project. The CCC has played a crucial role in developing this project, thanks to support from the Shuttleworth Foundation.
<br />
<br />We are flabbergasted! The interest has exceeded the wildest dreams of all of us at the CCC and our CERN colleagues. And thanks to the <a href="http://boinc01.cern.ch/media" rel="nofollow">press coverage</a> and avid retweeting of the news, the response in terms of number of people trying to register to this new project has been phenomenal.
<br />
<br />A week ago, we reached 8000 registered users which pushed the number of computers simultaneously connected to our server well over 1000. To give a sense of scale, with just 100 simultaneous connections we had already reached the equivalent of all the computing power at CERN that the physicists who developed this project have access to. So getting more than 10x that in just a few days boggled our minds - and also bogged down our servers! We're going to open gradually to more participants in the near future. We'll then stabilize for a while before further increases.
<br />
<br />This was announced as a beta-test to explore the limitations of our system, and we certainly succeeded in doing that, thanks to the support of the volunteer community. Particular thanks to all the experienced BOINC users in the forums who have been patiently explaining to newcomers that this sort of thing is normal in a beta-test. And hats off to our technical crew (which is basically just <a href="http://boinc01.cern.ch/team" rel="nofollow">Artem and Anton in Geneva and Daniel in Madrid</a>) who have been working literally around the clock to get the system running smoothly again.
<br />
<br />Just what does this mean for LHC physics? To put that in colourful perspective, here's a quote from a <a href="http://www.isgtw.org/feature/virtual-atom-smasher-lhchome-20">great article</a> by Jacqui Hayes, editor of International Science Grid this Week, interviewing amongst other Peter Skands, the lead physicist on the project:
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“We would never be able to simulate as many events as the LHC,” Skands said. “The fastest Monte Carlo I have would produce one collision per millisecond, on average. But the LHC produces 40 million per second.” </span><p style="font-style: italic;"> At this point of our interview, Skands paused and leant back in his chair. “How many volunteers would we need to produce as many events as the LHC?” He shrugged as he said it, and he meant it merely as a rhetorical question, a nod to the incomprehensible size and speed of the LHC. But, as he started to answer his own question, it suddenly dawned on him that he could actually produce a fully-fledged virtual atom smasher if just 40,000 volunteers ran his Monte Carlo simulations at the same time.</p><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><p style="font-style: italic;"> Until that point, Skands had been hoping for perhaps 10,000 volunteers on his project.“I never even considered that a possibility before now,” said Skands. “Honest to God, that would be a fun thing to do!”</p>Fun, indeed! Who knows, maybe by the time you read this blog post, the virtual atom smasher will have caught up with the data rate of it's real world cousin.

Better ways to visualize climate data produced by the citizen cyberscience projects Old Weather and ClimatePrediction.net.

We've all gathered together to discuss how best to promote collaboration on citizen cyberscience between the main London institutions and to share the experiences of those that have worked on/are working on citizen cyberscience projects.<br />
<br />
The morning was kicked off by Francois Grey, coordinator of the Citizen Cyberscience Centr, who gave us a quick intro into citizen cyberscience including the following seven myths about it:<br />
<br />
<b>1. It doesn’t produce real science</b><br />
Projects such as <a href="http://www.malariacontrol.net/">malariacontrol.net</a> have produced real published scientific results, which are used by governments to make important decisions.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>2. It won’t work for my science</b><br />
From biology to the humanities there are case studies for all types of citizen cyberscience projects.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Nobody will be interested in my science</b><br />
When starting up <a href="http://lhcathome.cern.ch/">LHC@home</a> the creators thought nobody would be interested in the project; they needn't have worried. One thousand people downloaded the application in the first 24 hours, with no publicity effort at all.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>4. You can’t trust results from ordinary people</b><br />
In fact crowdsourcing large groups of people will often be more reliable than one expert doing all the work, as they're far less likely to make mistakes through e.g. tiredness.<br />
<br />
<b>5. It is energetically hugely wasteful</b><br />
As long as volunteers have chosen the right settings running a cyberscience project on your computer only add on a little bit of energy.<br />
<br />
<b>6. It doesn’t really engage people in science</b><br />
While some volunteers do just download and run applications, others post strategies onto wikis, contribute to message boards and truly engage with the problems they're helping with.<br />
<br />
<b>7. One day we will run out of volunteers</b><br />

To round up the Summit we had a quick chat with Francois Grey, coordinator of the Citizen Cyberscience Centre and one of the brains behind the Summit. Watch below for Francois' thoughts on the event and what he thinks we've achieved in the last two days.<br />

From solving Suduko puzzles to creating detailed maps of Africa, the possibilities of citizen cyberscience appear to be endless and there are some amazing ideas coming out of the Summit today.<br />
<br />
However, if you're not lucky enough to be at the Summit yourself, there's still plenty of ways to keep up with all the action online. We're streaming the talks live on the web at the <a href="http://www.anatomytheatreandmuseum.kcl.ac.uk/node/59/">King's College Anatomy Theatre and Museum website</a>. And for those of you in America or Australia, we're also hoping to archive filmed versions of the talks, plus the speakers presentations after the Summit is over, so there's no need to wake up before sunrise or stay up until the wee hours of the night.<br />
<br />
For a quick snapshot of the attendees thoughts on the speakers and talks take a look at Twitter, just search for the <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23cybersci">#cybersci tag</a>. And last but not least don't forget to keep checking the blogosphere. We'll be updating this blog throughout the day. There are also some great summaries of all the speakers talks on Suw Charman-Anderson's blog, Strange Attractor, check it out <a href="http://charman-anderson.com/">here</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163745820374234480.post-57042890776067234142010-09-03T10:29:00.000+02:002010-09-03T10:29:38.570+02:00An interview with Becky ParkerOne person that got everybody talking yesterday was the amazing Becky Parker, a 'superteacher', from Langton Grammar School in Kent. Becky is inspiring her pupils to get interested in physics by setting up CERN@school, a network of cosmic ray detectors, and her enthusiasm for the project was infectious.<br />
<br />
We grabbed Becky to find out a little more about the project - watch below to find out more about her fab ideas. And if that's not enough, you can read more in <a href="http://www.isgtw.org/?pid=1002675">this article</a> from iSGTW.<br />

Today at the Citizen Cyberscience Summit in London has been one of the most lively and entertaining events I’ve attended in ages. Under the banner of citizen cyberscience in all its guises, we’ve heard about human computers from David Grier, finding prime numbers from PrimeGrid, now running to hundreds of thousands of digits, and from the founder of BOINC and SETI@home, David Anderson.<br />
<br />
The story of herbaria@home struck a particular chord as well for me – as a former museum curator in a previous life, the idea of using volunteers to help catalogue otherwise inaccessible botanical collections seems like an inspired idea. Instead of spending several weeks in a darkened museum cupboard cataloguing 200 pairs of 19th century spectacles, as I found myself doing a few years ago, today I could have asked a team of enthusiastic volunteers to give me a hand from the comfort of their own homes.<br />
<br />
Among a host of enthusiastic presenters, a highlight for me was Becky Parker’s energetic presentation on building cosmic ray detector networks in schools. Through regular trips to CERN her class has had a unique insight into the world of particle physics and cosmic rays – a far cry from the experiments we did in school rolling little trucks down slopes attached to ticker tapes. Becky introduced us to the CERN@school initiative, which sends Medipix detector chips, as used in the Large Hadron Collider, into schools. A pilot group of schools in Kent are using these chips to gather data about secondary cosmic rays in the atmosphere, and Queen Mary University’s GridPP project is helping them to process the data. Hopefully this is a pilot that will take off into a whole host of schools, bring cyberscience to the citizens of tomorrow.<br />

<br />
His project, Herbaria@Home, asks volunteers to decipher plant specimen labels, providing information such as site name and date. This allows botanists to map these plants and track the spread (or not) of species across the UK. This provides vital biodiversity information which can be used for future studies of taxonomy, ecology, conservation and genetic biodiversity.<br />
<br />
For hard-to-read handwritten labels volunteers need an opportunity to collaborate and discuss with each other, so like many other successful projects Herbaria@home has a very active message board. All information provided by volunteers is open to peer review and can be edited, with the public edit history accessible to all. <br />
<br />
<br />
As an added bonus, uploading these plant specimens onto the internet for analysis, means that Herbaria@home is opening up the museum's collections of plant material, which are otherwise largely inaccessible. <br />
<br />
To date Herbaris@home has classified a total of 70,000 species and looks set to continue well into the future.<br />

After the excitement that was Hanny’s Voorwerp in 2007 and the constant science being crunched across the globe on home computers, <a href="http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/">Einstein@home</a> has found <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10959590">its first pulsar</a>. The 3 cyberscientists that discovered PSR J2007+2722 are Chris and Helen Colvin from Iowa, US, and Daniel Gebhardt from Mainz in Germany. More details can be found in <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/rapidpdf/science.1195253?ijkey=fUmYrDCDRI/K2&keytype=ref&siteid=sci">a paper published by Science</a>.<br /><br />To tie in with this amazing discovery we have Bruce Allen the Lead Scientist on Einstein@home who is talking at the <a href="http://www.citizencyberscience.net/summit/index.htm">Citizen Cyberscience Summit</a> answer our usual round of questions:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why are you going to the Summit?</span><br />I want to learn about how other groups are making use of volunteer computing, and about what else might be done in this way.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are you going to talk about at the Summit?</span><br />I'm going to talk about the recent discovery made by the Einstein@Home project, and about what we might be able to find in the future, with the help of the public. I may also talk about some of the astronomical science that large-scale volunteer computing could enable in the future, if enough people 'signed up'.<br /><br />There has been a massive amount of interest in the summit and there are <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/events/booking.php?route=booking&conf_id=134">a few tickets left</a> but if you can't make it we will be doing a live webcast. We will be streaming from <a href="http://www.anatomytheatreandmuseum.kcl.ac.uk/">here</a>. Just click on the video link at the top right. Of course it's not ready yet, the summit's not for 2 weeks so ignore the error message you get if you click on it just now, we're getting it ready.<br /><br />Of course we are all media savvy here at Citizen Cyberscience Towers and we will be also using web 2.0 on the day with our twitter account <a href="http://twitter.com/CyberSciCentre">@CyberSciCentre</a> being from the horse's mouth and we will be asking people to use the hashtag #cybersci when talking about/at the event.Neasanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08560393302547805314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163745820374234480.post-89327684964797011642010-08-17T10:10:00.002+02:002010-08-17T10:23:12.625+02:00We talk to Ben SegalThe summit is even closer now, just over two weeks away. The speakers lined up are amazing and none more so than Ben Segal who has been working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, for 40 years. In that time he has seen the internet grow from a tool used only by scientists to the massive communications network used by the entire globe. He has been a part of many projects that hope to turn the public that uses the network into a resource for science, including <a href="http://lhcathome.cern.ch/">LHC@home</a> and <a href="http://www.africaathome.org/">Africa@home</a>. Again we were able to collar Dr Segal and get him to answer our questions about the summit.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why are you coming to the Summit?</span><br />I'm coming to meet other enthusiasts and volunteers who want to spread public interest in science. In my own work I have seen the scientific potential of public participation via the Internet. Also I am very excited by the beauty of some of today's Citizen Cyberscience applications and want to see what the future holds.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are you going to speak about?</span><br />I will describe how CERN has used volunteer computing since 2004 to help design the LHC accelerator, and what we are doing today to extend the system to handle much more difficult "real physics" problems. I will also stress that most of this LHC@home system has been built at minimal cost by volunteers and students, in the spirit of the public volunteers who offer their computers to us for solidarity and interest in CERN's research.Neasanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08560393302547805314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163745820374234480.post-9635252731202319032010-08-13T15:39:00.000+02:002010-08-17T10:24:41.382+02:00Giant Prime Numbers<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">One of the speakers we are lucky enough to have coming to our event is </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Rytis Slatkevičius, creator of PrimeGrid - a </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;font-family:sans-serif;" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing" title="Distributed computing" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">distributed computing</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> project for searching for </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number" title="Prime number" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">prime numbers</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> of world-record size.

She even has <a href="http://www.hannysvoorwerp.com/?page_id=1250">a section of her site</a> dedicated to her media appearances/lectures. Well you can add our <a href="http://www.citizencyberscience.net/summit/index.htm">Cyberscience Summit</a> to the list Ms. van Arkel :-)<br /><br />Hanny will be talking at the summit and we tracked her down (virtually) and asked her some questions about why she is coming and what she will be talking about.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why are you coming to the Summit?</span><br />I am attending the Summit because I think it’s great that citizens without a scientific background can easily be a part of scientific research. This has an important value to science, but it also enables those citizens to learn a lot. Besides this, in my experience, it’s a lot of fun to participate in citizen science research and therefore I think it’s important to promote it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are you going to speak about?</span><br />I’m planning to talk about the citizen science project Galaxy Zoo, on which I made an astronomical discovery.<br /><br />We have a few busy weeks coming up preparing for the summit but we will keep bringing you updates here, on <a href="http://twitter.com/CyberSciCentre">twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CyberSciCentre">FaceBook</a>.Neasanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08560393302547805314noreply@blogger.com0
