The monarch butterfly is a remarkable species. Each year these insects migrate in a similar pattern to birds from colder to warmer climates as the seasons change, often returning to the same overwintering sites every year. Unlike birds, however, no single monarch lives long enough to make the whole migration, so the journey occurs across multiple generations...

In the July/August print edition of Discover Magazine, the article “Secret Death of Asteroids” describes the creative ways that nature has for destroying a...

It’s likely you never expected to aid cutting edge cancer research by playing computer games, but the makers of NanoDoc are asking citizen scientists to do just that.   By designing nanoparticles – tiny clusters that are made up of only tens to thousands of atoms – and running simulations of...

Investigating Word Modalities seeks citizen scientists to help investigate words attached to senses. SciStarter is shuffling science into the language department. Explore the science of words with these citizen science projects!   Modality describes a pathway in the body through which a stimulus is registered.  It essentially refers to one of...

Do you have an idea about how to approach climate change?  You’re not alone.  Thousands of other people around the world are coming up with potential solutions to one of the world’s most challenging problems, but until now they have not been able to easily connect. MIT’s Climate CoLab is attempting...

Drag your bones toward more Halloween-themed citizen science. Growing up in the last green valley, I didn’t think too much about light pollution. We always brought flashlights trick-or-treating, and I can remember being afraid to go outside after sunset for fear of what could be hiding in the dark; we...

This post is part of this week’s featured projects about other tree projects. Branch out into citizen science and take a look! Standing among Redwood trees is truly a humbling experience – driving amidst these giants of the plant kingdom, I couldn’t help imagining I had time-travelled back to Earth’s...
