Citizen Science Salon is a partnership between Discover and SciStarter.org.
Citizen Science Month, held every April, is a month-long celebration of citizen science, where volunteers from all walks of life get involved in research by collecting data, analyzing results and helping solve some of the biggest problems in science. Citizen Science Month is the perfect time to explore a new citizen science project or introduce your friends and family to the world of citizen science.
What do all Citizen Science Month events and featured projects have in common? They prepare people to help answer research questions that can’t be answered without volunteers. Below, we've gathered up some of our favorite resources to get you started.
