Join David Perry as he highlights the advantages of having access to data insights when conducting large scale citizen science 'direct to public' research projects. Large scale, complex datasets that involve complex interactions with involved participants - as often found in medical research, but also elsewhere, can cause a great deal of difficulty for researchers and for ensuring that their data is shared in a controlled and safe manner. This is where data dashboards come in. David talks about his work with DecodeME over the past 12, and how they have helped to overcome these challenges.
