I’m delighted to announce that after a very successful beta test period, our first non-astrophysical project, Solar Stormwatch has gone live. Our science team, led by Chris Davis, is standing by ready to receive the results of your hard work. As he explains on his post over at the SSW blog, the results are already intriguing and we’re hoping for much, much more.

A few years ago, I joined a twice-weekly lunchtime basketball game with some of the science faculty at theĀ Hopkins Gym.
