GenR’s editor-in-chief Simon Worthington talks with co-founder Kerstin Göpfrich of Ring-a-Scientist about how the platform for connecting scientists with school students via videoconferencing was started.
The Ring-a-Scientist platform provides an easy to use infrastructure for scientists to do their bit for Citizen Science. Scientists can signup and offer to host a videoconference for school students. The platform then takes care of the rest of the process making the work easier for the scientist and school teacher running a class.
Videoconferences from Ring-a-Scientist are currently being offered in ten languages around the world.
