Some of you may already be part of this, but I thought it was a good opportunity to bring this to peoples attention.

I am a member of Zooniverse, and have been for a year or so. Zooniverse is an online citizens science website. As a member you pick a project you want to participate in and away you go, helping to solve real science issues. There is everything from finding planets around stars to locating kelp forests and lots of other interesting projects.

Over 1.3 million members are so far making a difference. I have just started on a new project that aims to discover the secret lives of Chimps in Africa.

You don't need any special talents to participate as every project has a field guide that will teach you what you need to do and look for.

So, have go and become an armchair scientist.

Well done, you! I don't think I could participate with my limited English skills.
