RE: Steemit Writers, Science Needs Your Help! Get the word out on how any computer or Android can boost research on cancer, astrophysics, clean energy & more!
Great write-up. I had no idea that press coverage of individual projects had such a big impact. It would be good to see BOINC as a whole getting that kind of media attention.
Exactly! I've tried to pitch the BOINC as a whole concept to lots of places and they just don't seem interested. They think readers will only be interested in specific projects like the Zika one when Zika was hot news. I'd love to see Bill Nye or Neil deGrasse Tyson just tweet about it once.
