Fighting Cancer with Protons
As a physicist, the things I learned at university were mostly along the lines of Maxwell’s equations, special relativity, Fourier transforms, quantum mechanics, and numerical methods. Five years ago I certainly didn’t envision myself working in cancer science, let alone be applying some of what I learned at university to cancer research. Although I’ve barely stepped foot in a lab, I don’t have a white...
Citizen Science Saturday: Blog 3 – Zooniverse – Citizen science without all the internet searching
I’m a scientist but I didn’t know what “citizen science” really was until writing this blog. I can’t figure out whether that makes me a bad scientist, a bad citizen or both. So, in order to redeem myself, I typed in to Google (other search engines are available…) “Citizen Science activities” and the...
Citizen Science Saturday: Blog 2- ‘The birds and the bees’ of Citizen Science
Citizen science is a way for everybody to contribute to the world of science. By using the power of huge numbers of volunteer amateur scientists, rather than only a small number of professionals, a much more extensive, exciting and impactful dataset can be put together! The projects can range from...
