The aim of the "Fat Checker" citizen scientist project is to help determine the number, size, and location of lipid droplets in cells, and to map their relationship to other parts of the cell that are important for processing and using lipids. The task for the citizen scientist is to draw around the outline of any lipid they see in the images presented to them.
