Things to Do
Citizen science is research conducted with participation from the general public. Want to get involved?
- NASA Citizen Science Projects Catalog: Pick from NASA's 31 open citizen science projects, and help map exoasteroids, trace exotic clouds in the Martian atmosphere, or decode signals from gamma ray bursts! Many projects only require a cell phone or a laptop.
- iNaturalist: iNaturalist is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature. It is often the online home of bioblitzes, which are community efforts to record as many species as possible within a designated location and time period. All you need is something to take photos, a phone or laptop, and an account.
