The Princeton Public and University Libraries and SciStarter share how you can make valuable contributions to real, ongoing research initiatives from home. No experience needed. Registration required.
Participants can study authentic objects of interest gathered by researchers and generate quality data by answering simple questions about them. With the help of online volunteers like you, researchers can analyze information more quickly and accurately than would otherwise be possible, leading to better, faster understanding of the world and more exciting results. The program will cover the scope of online citizen science across medicine, biology, physics, literature and history.
All you need is a computer and a sense of curiosity. Experts will stay online after the session to answer questions from researchers or educators on how to set up your own projects or utilize these resources in a classroom setting.
