Join Cochrane Crowd, Mark2Cure and Stall Catchers for the CitSciMed Blitz. Together we can speed up medical research and make a difference.
Starting with a Webinar:
The CitSciMed Blitz starts on Wednesday the 21st of February with a Webinar. You’ll learn about the three projects, learn how your contribution helps biomedical research and get more information about the event. You can register for the webinar here.
Followed by three 24-hour online challenges:
26th Feb – 27th Feb:
Stall Catchers challenge: Stall Catchers is a citizen science game speeding up Alzheimer’s research. In the game, you’re analyzing movies from a live mouse brain, and looking for signs of stalls – clogged blood vessels.
28th Feb – 1st March:
Mark2Cure challenge: Mark2Cure is a citizen platform that enables volunteers to help in the process of biomedical discovery. Volunteers extract information from biomedical abstracts in order to help researchers find clues on a rare disease known as NGLY1-deficiency.
2nd March – 3rd March:
Cochrane Crowd challenge: Cochrane Crowd is a citizen science platform which aims at identifying studies that provide the best possible evidence of the effectiveness of a health treatment. Once identified by the Crowd the studies go into a central register where health researchers and practitioners can access them.
