My favorite Zooniverse project is Snapshot Serengeti--when I was a kid, my family lived in the Serengeti for a couple of years because my dad was a wildlife biologist, and not only do the photographs let me relive my childhood, but one of the site mods was our neighbor at the time, so we got to reconnect after almost 40 years!

I have no questions, just wanted to say: good job!

Just in case this sparks ideas for approaching it sideways: I've got a friend whose mother is mentally ill, but they've managed to get her to take her meds by working within the cultural context of her original native country and the illness itself: she hallucinates, but interprets it as seeing ghosts. She doesn't believe she's ill, but she knows that the pills make the ghosts go away.

And good luck. You're a good person for helping her.
