The question was recently posed to me on Twitter:
How is GAMIFICATION impacting Life Sciences–specifically GENETICS?
My answer was simple: In many powerful ways combined with crowd-sourced “citizen scientists”!
To follow-up with Abraham, here are a few reference links to information on the GAMIFICATION OF GENETICS
