We need a lot of data.
Because we are all so unique
Scaling up is easy, right?
We have computers

We have algorithms

But we're human.
We have our strengths
45 MPH
STOP!
We should combine our strengths
Algorithms
- fast
- sometimes stupid
Humans
- slow
- sometimes smart
By designing optimal interfaces
Design matters.
Open design matters.
we can overcome our limitations
and optimize for our strengths
- we are slow: design for collaboration
- we are smart: design for the human visual system
in science,
The internet.
Pediatric Mental Health
- Healthy Brain Network Biobank = 10k MRI
- How do brain tissue volumes change during development?
- Children move = bad quality image
- Visual inspection @ every stage of analysis
Lets go to the Web Lab

Need to "down-weight" some raters

| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | - |

each rater is a feature
each image

Thanks eLife Innovation!
How do brain tissue volumes change during development?
back to our question:
A fine line
TL;DR
too long, didn't read in internet-speak
open science is honorable
of course,
open science is strategic
in the age of data-driven discovery
Thanks to my Web Lab!
