We wanted to share this great article about the many citizen science projects that can help us feel connected and give us purpose during a pandemic. Published in The Conversation by researchers across Australia, the article highlights how citizen science programs, like ClimateWatch, can be a good self-isolating activity where people of all ages can get involved.
"Apart from being a valuable way to pass time while self-isolating, citizen science reminds us of the importance of community and collaboration at a time it’s desperately needed."
The Australian Citizen Science Association also has a list of programs that people can join, and educators and home-schoolers can use many of our Earthwatch teaching resources for free.
