What have we learned from EteRNA?

CMU's Adrien Treuille talks about what researchers already have learned about RNA design during the beta testing of the new online game EteRNA. He also explains how the larger scientific community can use EteRNA as a tool and a resource.

thank you all eterna team developers for giving us regular non experienced civilscientists aka new to this lol a insite and understanding and new outside the box approach, you must spread this method amongst all areas of scientific research and development areas as this is the new generation of science, the more sequencing the merrier because the more participants = more possible new discoveries.

try it:D im new, but from what i can tell they are just VERY thorough. machines simply cannot problem solve on par with humans yet, at least not until we work out the kinks.

how good are players? is there something that (pure) intuition has achieved that machine learning could not come up with?
