Scripps Research Institute Researchers Seek ‘Citizen Scientists’ To Comb Through Medical Research
Four scientists at The Scripps Research Institute are looking for volunteers through Mark2Cure.org to serve as "citizen scientists" who can help identify helpful information in the growing body of biomedical research. Andrew Su, one of the researchers, said, "There are about a million biomedical articles published each year, one every 30 seconds," adding, "It is nearly impossible for any individual to read all the literature in their particular field, much less have some feelers out into other areas."
