#24 — In this episode of The Microscopists, we’re joined by astronomer Professor Chris Lintott of the University of Oxford, co-founder of The Zooniverse citizen science platform, and a presenter on the BBC’s The Sky at Night programme. In this wide-ranging and enlightening chat, we discuss early inspirations, the importance of public engagement in science, the wacky rules and regulations of real tennis, and why the public like counting pictures of penguins. We'll also hear how Zooniverse projects such as Etch a Cell are helping life scientists with their research. Chris also tells us more about the most difficult time in his career and why, when you don’t know what to do, it’s always better just to do something!
