  Most type of research require all sorts of supporting activities, some of which can be facilitated by software or websites. For instance, modern scientific research requires a lot of data processing, and as discussed here a few weeks ago that’s currently mostly done very incompetently by non-programmers. For another, they need to recruit and manage study participants. There’s room for software and websites in that process. Undoubtedly there are several more that are just not coming to mind right now.

  If people live longer than at present, either more food is needed to feed the larger population that arises from a reduced global death rate, or more young people are made reproductively sterile to reduce the global birth rate to maintain global population levels. You can also help by contributing to those as well.
