From isolated projects → collective knowledge
@metastudentSSRC pools undergraduate sports science data into "living meta-analyses."
Turning academic exercises into real scientific contributions.

We're solving the "undergraduate research waste problem" in science.
Every year, thousands of final-year projects collect valuable data.. then disappear.
But data could contribute to living meta-analyses instead! #sportsscience
