#008: Citizen Science

Ask an Astronomer! @ Cornell University

This month on the Ask An Astronomer Podcast... 1) We discuss citizen science, an innovative approach to involving the general public in cutting-edge scientific research. 2) We speak with researchers who are working on three different citizen science initiatives, including a group from Cornell's Lab of Ornithology, a researcher working with data from Galaxy Zoo and the Zooniverse, and the team behind the Pulsar Search Collaboratory. 3) Finally, we'll point you to some resources for getting involved in citizen science. This podcast was written and produced by Ann Martin, Betsey Adams, and David Kornreich. You can ask us your own questions by emailing us at '[email protected]'
