Hi guys --

I know that Gareth Cook has interviewed some people in the
crowdsourcing space about applications of crowdsourcing to scientific
research. He spoke with my co-author, but I don't have any special
relationship. I'd say whoever is spearheading this effort should just
reach out at the appropriate time as it may be interesting.

Strategy-wise, I think it'll be important to emphasize the
crowdsourcing aspects and to maybe even wait until there are more
random contributors and it is less grass-roots. I'm not really a PR
expert though, so your guess is probably as good as mine.

Best,
Dana
