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 A wide field view showcases Jupiter in the upper right quadr
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 A bright, narrow double band of dust cuts horizontally throu
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.

1/ Hey video game player / puzzle solvers -- this is real!

"If you like solving puzzles, scientists want your help to start designing potential drugs to combat the coronavirus using a game you can play on your computer."

2/ "The citizen-science project, known as Foldit, hopes to start turning designs into actual drugs within a month.

Asking untrained people to design drugs sounds like pie in the sky. But the science behind the project is very real..."
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?
