Counting Down to 1 Billion Classifications on Zooniverse
Weāre approaching an incredible milestone on Zooniverse:Ā 1 BILLION classifications. Every classification, transcription, drawing, tag and click made by more than 3 million volunteers across Zooniverse projects has helped researchers answer questions that would otherwise be impossible to answer at this scale. Watch the countdown To celebrate the countdown, weāve created aĀ live classificationā¦

Zooniverse in Conversation: Astronomers Without Borders
We recently joined Astronomers Without Borders for a live conversation during Global Astronomy Month with Andrew Fazekas and Laura Trouille, Zooniverse Principal Investigator and VP of Science Engagement at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, highlighting the breadth and impact of Zooniverseās astronomy projects. The session explored everything from current discoveries and active projects toā¦
LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Celebrating 90,000 Classifications in a College Classroom in China
From individual volunteers working on their own devices to students gaining hands-on research experience, the messages we receive often reveal how citizen science fits into very different lives and contexts. In this series, we are sharing a few of those stories. You can also read about a studentās work-experience journey in Kenya and a young asteroid hunter from India in our previous posts. Thisā¦
LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Hunting asteroids from India
Every so often, a message arrives that reminds us what citizen science looks like from the other side of the screen. Not from a dashboard or a dataset, but from someone who has just discovered the thrill of contributing to real research. In this series, weāre sharing a few of those messages from volunteers around the world. You can also read aboutĀ Daisy Obwasoās work-experience story fromā¦
LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Developing Data Analysis Skills in Kenya
Sometimes, alongside the everyday flow of questions and bug reports, the Zooniverse team receives an unexpected ālove letter.ā A thank you.A story.A message from someone, somewhere in the world, telling us what Zooniverse has meant to them. This February, with permission from the authors, weāre sharing a small selection of those messages. They come from different continents, age groups, andā¦
Getting familiar with our campus critters: Engaging non-science students in biology through wildlife
Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) is nestled in eastern Los Angeles County, California surrounded by hillsides and large mountain ranges to the north and to the south. Aside from the typical college campus environment you would find, CPP is unique to have a mosaic of agricultural lands and a preserve right outside our building doors. With those open spaces, comes wildlife. In the project CPP Wild, studentsā¦

Not Just Scientists: How And Why Ordinary People Are Saving The Italian Hydrological Data
Imagine old dusty books filled with tables and numbers. These tables record how much water flowed in Italian rivers every day, over many years. As you can imagine, these measurements are very useful for scientists who study water, floods, and the climate. But this information is hard to use because the data is only on paper. Thatās why the SIREN project asked Zooniverse volunteers to help turnā¦
Royal Astronomical Society Article Celebrates Citizen Science
Many Zooniverse-themed papers have been published in the pages of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) over the years. A recent article in Astronomy & Geophysics (A&G), the RAS Members magazine, celebrates this connection between the RAS and citizen scientists.The article highlights, in their own words, the views of various authors on how they got involved in their Zooniverseā¦
"Citizen Science In Biology"
Citizen Science in Biology is a new book by Wilson Wall and David Morgan which celebrates the contribution that volunteers have made to the advancement of the natural sciences. It charts the historical development of citizen science, from its earliest days with amateur individuals working on their own, to the modern incarnation which often sees large numbers of people cooperating on environmentalā¦
Learn about the "yellowballs"' role in star formation and how Zooniverse projects have been used to engage different communities, such as seminaries, youth, and interfaith groups, in participatory (āpeople-poweredā) science.
Zooniverse Volunteers Accurately Count Endangered GalƔpagos Marine Iguanas from Above
A new study in Natureās Scientific Reports shows that citizen scientists can reliably count endangered GalĆ”pagos marine iguanas from drone images, offering a fast and cost-effective tool for wildlife monitoring. Figure 1. Drone image from the project āIguanas from Aboveā, taken at Cabo Douglas, Fernandina Island, GalĆ”pagos, Ecuador. Through the online project āIguanas from Aboveā, hosted on theā¦
