Dr Lintott is an entertaining speaker, well known as he copresents The Sky at Night with Sir Patrick Moore.

Abstract:
In July 2007 we launched www.galaxyzoo.org
which enlisted the public's help in classifying images of galaxies obtained with a robotic telescope. More than 30 million images have now been viewed, and the public are as good at the task as professional
astronomers. I'll review the project, discuss the first set of science results and look to the future.
