You can preregister for this Berkeley {non-BOINC?) dc project

"Members of the public are being asked to sift through millions of pictures of the gel to locate the precise positions of the tiny grains.

The project, known as Stardust@home, has been set up by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Volunteers will be able to access the images via a web-based "virtual microscope". "

Apparantly you have to pass some kind of test to be accepted. If you find anything you will get a credit in the published results.
