How many senses do you use as a citizen scientist? This week Your Research Missions involve pollution that you can see, hear and feel. (Note that there is pollution you can taste and smell, but that’s just unpleasant.) Take a look below to learn how you can help researchers monitor pollution you can feel through the "My Air, My Health Challenge;" hear through the "NoiseTube" project; and see through "Mountain Watch."

Now on the SciStarter blog, contributor Peter Madden shares an invitation from the U.S. Geological Survey to report landslides you see and feel! More people in the U.S. have a chance of experiencing a landslide than any other natural disaster, according to the USGS. Here's a chance to make a difference. See "Did You See It?" to learn how you can report landslides.

In other news, thanks to Phil Plait, author of the popular Bad Astronomy blog at Discover, for giving a shout out to citizen science and to SciStarter as YOUR source for citizen science projects.

We at SciStarter are pleased to report that the ArduSat campaign, of which we're a partner, finished in the top 1% of KickStarter campaigns. Three times the funding goal of $35,000 was raised through KickStarter – over $106,000 has been pledged to the project which will bring experiments designed by citizen scientists into space.

Reminder: Calling all researchers and science team leaders! Are you looking for citizen science volunteers to help with research? SciStarter brings projects and people together. If you’d like your project featured, submit it to the SciStarter Project Finder for consideration by the editors.
