Motivation to Participate in an Online Citizen Science Game
Online citizen science projects have the potential to engage thousands of participants with scientific research. A small number of projects such as Foldit use an online computer game format. Motivation to participate in Foldit was investigated in a group of 37 players using an online survey, semistructured interviews, and participant observation. Results suggest that contributing to scientific research and an interest in science were among the mo…
Public Engagement Through the Development of Science-Based Computer Games
New developments in digital technologies are enabling scientists to explore novel avenues of engagement beyond face-to-face approaches. “Gamifying” science through the creation of computer games based on scientific research is part of this trend. Recently, the Wellcome Trust held a competitive “hackfest” called “Gamify Your PhD.” Six finalists were selected to develop their research into a computer game with the help of professional games develop…
Intraindividual variation in the basal metabolic rate of women
Intraindividual variation in the basal metabolic rate of women
The validity of using the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to calculate an individual's energy requirements is based upon the assumption that the intraindividual variation in BMR is small. Early studies (pre-1940) on BMR in women had shown that the menstrual cycle may have a profound effect, contributing to high levels of intraindividual variation. To investigate this issue further, and to explore whether BMR is indeed a biological constant in women, s…
