And many meteorologists use data collected by citizen scientists to study weather conditions and patterns. Now, thanks largely to advances in computing, researchers in computational biology and data science are harnessing the power of the masses and making discoveries that provide valuable...

Brain Training And Counting Bees: This Week ’s Best Psychology Links
Our weekly round-up of the best psychology coverage from elsewhere on the web There’s not much evidence that brain training apps really improve our cognitive abilities –  so why do so many people use them? Sabrina Weiss at Wired has the answers. More colour-related research this week: people who live in grey, rainy countries far away from the equator are more likely to associate yellow with joy, reports Eva Frederick in Science.

Greta Thunberg: Stigmatized for Asperger ’ s
Whether you agree or disagree with her message, Greta Thunberg has suffered from the typical stigmatizing comments from those who disagree with her because of her Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis. This is the kind of ignorance most people have left behind in the last century. But some critics, instead of focusing and replying to her message about the threats of climate change, chose to focus on the messenger, Thunberg herself. Calling her “mentally ill,” one critic even went so far as to suggest she was some sort of parentally-controlled pawn in a vast global conspiracy. It shows a stunning amount of discrim...
