Why biologists?

Lead users .: have extreme needs which will become

general in society in a few years.

.: are positioned to benefit significantly by obtaining a solution to those needs

Identification of contribution patterns

And...

.: Sustained patterns of engagement with (60|30|10);

.: Screen activity increases interaction;

.: Visual clutter on the screen decreases interaction;

.: No significant impact of the different notifications strategies.
