First announced back in 2015, EVE Online's Project Discovery got underway this week. It's a science collaboration that rewards EVE players in-game for playing a minigame that is actually a clever way to contribute time and brainpower to the Human Protein Atlas – real-world science.
A couple of capsuleers had over 1000 classifications apiece with accuracy ratings over 90%.
Congrats folks, and thank you for participating in this little slice of MMO history.
Is it weird that i want to resub to EVE just to try out the minigame and actually contribute to science with my layman efforts?
I don't understand this in the slightest and yet I still think it's awesome.
A testament to 1) my immovable ignorance and 2) the innovative prowess of CCP.
