Worm Watch Lab Talk

People marking eggs that aren't there...

    Is anyone else getting frustrated with "scoring"? A lot of worms are getting marked with egg laying activity that obviously have none. There is no point in skewing the research results!

    Some people do get it wrong, don't worry about them, they are in the minority!

    Somewhere around 6-20 people view each video. Most times everyone gets it right when there are no eggs and the video gets finished with only a few views. If someone does mark an egg, even if it's just one out of five people, the video has to be watched a few more times to make sure of the result.
