So I just got this email, thought you guys might want to help ...
With less than 24 hours to go in the
Mazda Rebels contest, we are *so* close to winning and being able to make our 'First Responders' project a reality. Together we've made major contributions to scientific research, from marking bubbles in the Milky Way to marking giraffes in the Serengeti. As a global community coming together during a major humanitarian crisis (such as a natural disaster), we think we could make a real difference exploring and tagging images taken by satellites and from the air. Together we could provide rapid assistance and even, possibly, save lives.
The competition features our own
Robert Simpson describing what we do at the Zooniverse and highlighting some of our projects. There is a public vote to determine who gets the grant, and this is the last day to vote.
Can't hurt to ask. I love these guys.
