New preprint: Infection Inspection Philip Fowler, 12th December 202312th December 2023 Some great work by Conor Feehily, Nicole Stoesser and others, including collaborators from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford asking citizen scientists to help them classify images of E. coli which have been fluorescently stained and then treated with an antibiotic as either resistant or susceptible. Infection Inspection was only on the Zooniverse for a few months because it was so popular the volunteers completed all the images they had captured in our lab in the John Radcliffe hospital. We only played a small role encouraging and supporting via our experience with BashTheBug.
