<p><em><strong>Here's a guest post from <a href="http://iet.open.ac.uk/people/vickie.curtis" target="_self">Vickie Curtis</a>, a Research Student at UK's Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology.</strong></em></p>

<p>I am a doctoral student at the Institute for Educational

Technology at the Open University in the UK. I am looking at how digital

technologies are changing the way scientists interact with members of the wider

public, and I am particularly interested in online 'citizen science' projects

such as Folding@home. </p>

<p>A few weeks ago we launched an online survey

to learn a little more about why people contribute to the Folding@home

community, their views about the project, and about âcitizen scienceâ projects

in general. Weâve had a great response so far, but would like to keep the

survey open for a couple more weeks so that we can capture the views of

participants who havenât yet had a chance to take part (we would love to hear

from more women who contribute to Folding@home).</p>

<p>The survey should take about 10 minutes, and

the feedback will eventually be shared with you via the website and blog. All the information you supply will be kept

on a secure server and not passed to any third parties. If you would like

to take part, please follow the link below.</p>

<p>

Many thanks to those who have already contributed!</p>
