Please leave some good citizen science links below please.
Here, we’ll start: two in the UK (plants), one in North America (birds), and one that is pretty much worldwide (molecules).
- The Big Seaweed Search, NHM
- The Urban Tree Survey, NHM
- Lots of good stuff at Cornell Lab of Ornithology
- Foldit

Love the badge! Let’s find a way for citizen scientists of all stripes to use it via scienceforcitizens.net (we connect citizen scientists to the researchers looking for their help).

When you have a moment, kindly drop me a line so I can learn more about how Science For Citizens.net can offer the badge to our practitioners and volunteers. -Thanks!

While I hope to eventually get a post graduate degree, for the last year I’ve been doing citizen science and (hopefully) citizen science education by blogging on the internet. This badge will be the first of many to grace my blog.
Thanks guys!
[...] Who needs a post graduate degree when you can do Citizen Science! (One of the many fantastic bits of flare from the Order of the Science Scouts of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique, or O.O.T.S.S.O.E.R.A.A.A.P. for short.) October 11th, 2010 in propaganda, science [...]
Who needs a post-graduate degree? I have a bachelor’s degree, in chemistry, and have been doing paid science for over 40 years.

Perhaps I should have, since apparently my bachelor’s is insufficient to set me apart from the ranks of interested amateurs, if “post-graduate degree” means master’s or doctorate in your definition.
