Today, we launched our new Mapping Cancer Markers project, and with it, you may have noticed a few changes in our appearance. As we mentioned in our report on the Member Study, we will be making changes to our website over the coming months to appeal to a wider audience.

Today's changes, which center around a slight re-organization of the website navigation, are the first step to bigger changes coming in the future. The intention is to better highlight the research we support and demonstrate the scale of our volunteer community, while giving you easier to navigate tools to manage your contribution.

For this release, the specific changes are:

• We moved functional tools, such as Help, Forum, Download and language selection to a more easily accessible top utility bar, above the website header.
  
• Separation of what was previously 'My Grid' into two sections:
  
  
  
  • 'My Contribution' within the site's main navigation, which groups together your statistics, project selections, teams and results.
    
  • 'Settings', in the now expanded utility bar. This includes your profile information and device management, as well as Twitter integration and widget.
    
  
  

These changes set the foundations for making our website easier to use and giving our members a richer volunteering experience. We hope you'll enjoy the changes as we roll them out.

Thank you for your support!
