Some of the most intriguing features visible in the new @NASAWebb Jupiter images are the giant planet's rings. @NASAVoyager scientists made the surprise discovery in 1979, and our #JunoMission even captured a view of them looking from the inside out! 1/3 
As the Juno spacecraft zipped through the narrow gap between Jupiter's radiation belts and the planet during its first science flyby in August 2016, a star tracking camera collected this image showing the dusty rings and the stars beyond, including bright Betelgeuse. 2/3
Juno also captures close-ups of Jupiter from Jovian orbit. Like the @NASAWebb images released yesterday, these are often processed from raw data by #CitizenScientist members of the public, such as this one by Andrea Luck. Learn more and see the latest: missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/proces… 3/3

3/ "Foldit is among the world’s most-successful citizen-science projects.
It challenges users to solve 3D puzzles by finding ways to fit complex shapes together, or build their own new shapes – a cross between 3D Tetris and Minecraft."

Great question from @pandamakes about the @AutisticaUK @turinginst #ResearchAssociate JOB that you should all be applying for (and telling your friends about). turing.ac.uk/work-turing/re…
I'm going to answer it in a little thread 👇🏼

What do I mean by a "fine-grained consent model"? At the highest level it's pretty simple: it means I want to give all the participants control over their data.
What does that mean in practise?

In this #CitizenScience project we'll be collecting experiences about the challenges that #Autistic people have when navigate the environment.
For example, is it very stressful to take the tube? (Yes!) Are there times that are particularly bad? (Yes!) What are the workarounds?
