Your Research Mission, presented by SciStarter and Discover Magazine, is a dynamic showcase featuring projects from SciStarter on DiscoverMagazine.com (reaching more than two million people each month) . Each week, we feature curated citizen science missions, ranging from analyzing distant galaxies to monitoring frog, firefly and whale populations, to detecting home and body microbiomes. We also deliver the featured Research Missions directly to you, through this SciStarter newsletter. Below, you will find Your Research Missions, should you choose to accept them.
(Researchers and team leaders who want their project featured can submit it to the
SciStarter.com Project Finder for consideration by the SciStarter editors.)
This month, we also launched a new blog series titled “Citizen Science Test Drive,” where we present first-person reviews of citizen science apps, tools and platforms. First up: SciStarter contributors Dr. Lisa Gardner and Kate Atkins review
three nature apps and several
birding apps. If you would like to contribute to this series and share your experiences with our community, email Dr. John Ohab, Director of Community Engagement: john@scistarter.com.
Cheers!
