Every day, people who aren’t scientists are making huge scientific discoveries. Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of citizen science.
It’s nerding out to the max, and there’s seriously a project for everything, from astronomy to biology. There’s even one about the humble bin chicken, and a project that uses possum poo to investigate the future of human antibiotic resistance. We spoke to several science professionals about their work in their respective citizen science projects.
