Default Citizen scientists need a virtual water cooler

I normally post on the Parkinson's forum. There's a group of us there interested in doing science, not just reporting it. I don't like the name, but "citizen scientists" seems to be the name gaining the most external usage for people active in this area.

We realize that the things that hold us back the most, such as web site construction, statistical analysis and data visualization, aren't unique to PD. So, posting on those issues to the PD forum is not appropriate. And, anyway, misses out on a huge amount of external expertise.

What I think we need is a virtual water cooler. Next to this we could chat about what we know and what we need to know.

Does anyone wish to collaborate in this area?

John
