Amy Sterling is Executive Director of EyeWire, the virtual reality game that is designed to help researchers map the brain. EyeWire was launched over four years ago and is among a growing number of citizen science endeavors that is flourishing through crowdsourcing (the practice of obtaining input into a task by enlisting the services of a large number of people, typically through the Internet). She is the recipient of key honors for her achievements, including speaking in 2014 at the White House at the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s first workshop on citizen science.
