Your Research Missions this week are focused deep underground (to explore earthquakes), at the Earth’s surface (to explore plants and animals in your yard), and up in the sky (to explore bird migrations). These are some of the citizen science missions featured at DiscoverMagazine.com.
Your Research Mission is presented by SciStarter and Discover Magazine.
Calling all researchers and science team leaders! Are you looking for citizen science volunteers to help with research? SciStarter seeks to bring projects and people together. If you’d like your project featured, submit it to the SciStarter Project Finder for consideration by the editors. And this summer, consider attending and presenting at the Public Participation in Scientific Research Conference in Portland, Oregon to share insights across projects and fields of study with researchers and practitioners involved with citizen science.
Recently on the SciStarter Blog, Kate Atkins reviewed mobile Apps that are really for the birds. Or, rather, they are for birders, at least birders with smartphones. This post is a part of the “Citizen Science Test Drive” series, first-person reviews of citizen science apps, tools and platforms. Meet Kate and other SciStarter team members this Saturday at the Philadelphia Science Festival and Tuesday at Philly Tech Week! Learn more here.
Do you have a favorite App for citizen science? If so, tell us about it. To contribute to this series and share your experiences with our community, email Dr. John Ohab, Director of Community Engagement: john@scistarter.com.
