OpenWorm: A Digital Organism In Your Browser
This project is huge. I'm glad to see it has come this far. It's the first ever simulation of a multi-cellular organism at a really useful detail, presented and made available to the masses.It's work like this that is going to help explode the use of citizen scientist work. Imagine being able to run your own experiments on a simulation first without having to buy and breed your own worms. So many more experiments can be carried out, and in parallel too.It's not an exact model yet, but it's getting closer. The end goal is to get the model to the point where if you run an experiment on the virtual worm, you can be certain you'll get the same results on the real worm.
