=What is Project Discovery=

Project Discovery is a "citizen science", participation in scientific research by the lay community, project within EVE Online. A collaboration between CCP Games, Reyjavik University, the Human Protein Atlas, and Massively Multiplayer Online Science, it is used to characterize the structures of cells, using your identification skills, and will help scientists identify proteins within human cells. A brief tutorial and introduction to mechanics is present in the game.

Because of this, playing Project Discovery helps scientists understands how human cells are built.

A brief tutorial and introduction to mechanics is present in the game.

In-game, the [[Sisters_of_Eve|Sisters of EVE]] run Project Discovery for capsuleers to assist in identification of [[Drifters|Drifter]] biological samples.

In addition to the above scientific participation and benefits, capsuleers also gain benefits within EVE Online. Each slide submitted results in a small amount of ISK - determined by your accuracy rating, with an accuracy of 50% conferring 50,000 ISK per slide, minus corporation tax - as well as Project Discovery-specific ~~loyalty kredits~~ with the Sisters of EVE.

=What to Look For=

The objective of Project Discovery slides is to identify what cellular structure(s) display a fluorescent green color. These can broadly be classified as '''within the''' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus '''nucleus'''], in the cell's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm '''cytoplasm'''], or even outside the cell in the '''periphery'''. If none of these are met, consider classifying the slide as '''not identifiable'''.

~~Most slides presented to players have 1-2 structures highlighted with fluorescent green, though it's possible that slides may have zero green structures or 3+ green structures. ~~

~~Tip~~: Remember to focus on the fluorescent green color. Consider using the filters at the bottom of the image to hide red and/or blue to make identifying the green region easier.

Tips:

* Most slides presented to players have 1-2 structures highlighted with fluorescent green, though it's possible that slides may have zero green structures or 3+ green structures.

* Cytoplasm, nucleus, and nucleolus seem to be the most frequent structures identifiable in this batch of images.

* Remember to focus on the fluorescent green color. Consider using the filters at the bottom of the image to hide red and/or blue to make identifying the green region easier.

This image demonstrates a capsuleer selected one element in the Nucleus and one element in the Cytoplasm; a majority of capsuleers agree with the cytoplasm structure choice - hence the green checkmark - but disagree with the nucleus structure choice - hence the red X.
