How can life thrive in deep house? The Open Science Information Repository Evaluation Working Teams invite volunteers from all backgrounds to assist reply this query. Request to join these citizen science teams to assist examine how life adapts to house environments, exploring subjects like radiation results, microgravity’s impression on human and plant well being, and the way microbes change in orbit.
Presently, 9 Evaluation Working Teams (AWGs) maintain month-to-month conferences to advance their particular focus areas. Individuals collaborate utilizing an internet platform, the AWG “Forum-Space”, the place they join with friends and specialists, be part of discussions, and contribute to over 20 active projects.
The AWGs work with knowledge primarily from the NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR), a treasure trove of spaceflight knowledge on physiology, molecular biology, bioimaging, and rather more. For newcomers, there are tutorials and a comprehensive paper overlaying all facets of the repository and the AWG group. You may discover 500+ studies, an omics multi-study visualization portal, the environmental data app, and RadLab, a portal for radiation telemetry knowledge. (“Omics” refers to fields of biology that finish in “omics,” like “genomics”.)
Every of the 9 AWGs has a Lead who organizes their group and holds month-to-month digital conferences. When you be part of, make sure that to attach with the Lead and get on the agenda so you may introduce your self. Be taught extra about the AWGs here.
Have an concept for a brand new venture? Suggest a brand new venture and assist lead it! From knowledge evaluation and visualization to shaping knowledge requirements and conducting literature meta-analyses, there’s a spot for everybody to contribute. Request to join, and collectively, we will tackle an ideal problem for humanity: understanding and enabling life to thrive in deep house!
On April 17 at 3pm Jap Time, the NASA Citizen Science Leaders Collection is internet hosting an digital occasion with Ryan Scott about these Evaluation Working Teams and their work. Ryan is the Science Lead for the Ames Life Sciences Information Archive and the liaison between the Open Information Science Repository and the Evaluation Working Teams.
