The forecast for Your Research Missions this week is stormy. Join the team of CoCoRaHS weather watchers and record precipitation. Look for severe weather as a SKYWARN volunteer and help keep people safe. Or join Solar Storm Watch and look at weather far, far away - space weather! Some of these citizen science missions are featured at DiscoverMagazine.com.
Your Research Mission is presented by SciStarter and Discover Magazine.
Congratulations to all who participated in the Big Cheer for Science last week. Check out some video of students taking part in the Big Cheer for Science! Great job, kids! Schools that participated are now a part of the Quake-Catcher Network, a citizen science project organized by the USGS. That's also something to cheer about.
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.com Project Finderfor consideration by the editors.
And there is still time to submit an abstract to the Public Participation in Scientific Research Conference in Portland, Oregon this summer. Share insights about your citizen science project and connect with the community involved with citizen science.
