Become a citizen scientist with Zooniverse
A feature on citizen science for the
Guardian Online has included a profile of the highly successful Zooniverse projects. The feature details how Zooniverse began in 2007 with
Professor Chris Lintott‘s
Galaxy Zoo project, which exceeded all expectations with 100,000
citizen scientists signing up to classify galaxies. Many important
discoveries, including a new planet, were made by these volunteers.
Galaxy Zoo was so popular that it was developed into Zooniverse, where
over one million volunteers are registered and anyone can get involved
in contributing to real research in space, climate, nature, humanities
and biology projects. To get involved in citizen science, visit the
Zooniverse site to register and choose from the exciting range of current projects
