We answered the following call: ""Citizen science” or “crowd sourced” science will become increasingly important as a valuable means of harnessing the “world brain” to address critical social, ecological, or cultural issues.

This could not only lead to benchmarks for species survival and climate change but also to increasing public awareness of the challenges through direct involvement. How can artists, designers, scientists, engineers and medical researchers forge a lasting and effective alliance to enhance these efforts?"
