Citizen Science Month is April 2025 – everyone, everywhere is invited to start preparing for this global effort to generate One Million Acts of Science and promote public participation in scientific research!
Did you know? Scientists can’t be everywhere and they don’t have all the answers! That’s why they count on volunteers around the world to join their projects to help collect data when they don’t have enough (pictures, measurements, observations, etc) or help analyze data when they have too much (sort through images to look for designated items or characteristics).
For more information for both volunteeers and event organiers, see https://scistarter.org/citizensciencemonth.
