For anyone interested in games incentivizing people to engage in research like this, I just saw a talk this morning that mentioned PhotoCity: www.photocitygame.com. It's a game to encourage picture taking of landmarks; the researchers then collate these into a 3d model.

There's also Eterna http://eterna.cmu.edu/ - I think it was on HN some time ago. (also biology-related)

looked interesting, but they want my email before they'll let me even try the tutorial. Disappointing.
