"Scientists can’t be everywhere all at once, as much as they’d like to. Many of
the problems citizen science helps solve are concerned with spreading the net
wider – or getting more helping hands on the task.
Biosecurity managers can’t make it to every regional town in their state. But
if members of the public report suspicious species, such as through the popular
iNaturalist app, they can take action.
Astronomers need more eyes to sift through vast databases of stellar
explosions. Climate scientists can learn from our history, but deciphering the
records takes time.
Below we introduce five citizen science projects where large numbers of people
have contributed impactful results, or yielded new knowledge. Some of them even
have new project stages you may be able to participate in."
