Remix of my No Citizens No Science presentation with a focus on Museums, and more careful extraction of lessons learnt, focussing on 2 main areas:

2. Techniques for ensuring sustainable contributions, specifically allowing for serendipitous discovery, and layering achievement feedback from micro badge level to macro science outputs
