How can we deal with the challenge of 'data overload'?
We are reaching a point where computers can no longer cope with the quantity of data collected from cosmological simulations - a problem that will grow, not only in cosmology. Pedro Ferreira and his team are working towards a solution to the problems of data overload.

Why do we need 'citizen science'?
Harnessing the general public to help analyse complex data sets is not only helping scientists with galaxy classification. Pedro Ferreira explains how First World War ship's logs are providing invaluable information to climate scientists and social historians.
