Citizen Science Celebration

Join us this April as we celebrate the people, projects, and scientific outcomes made possible through public participation. This year, we are working together toward a nationally shared goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science, marking America’s 250th Birthday through collective discovery, service, and impact. Anyone can participate. No prior experience is needed. Every contribution counts.
