Space Warps - ESA Euclid | Zooniverse - People-powered research Elusive strongly lensed galaxies are waiting to be discovered!

We recently launched a new citizen science project: www.zooniverse.org/projects/apr...
Please help find #strong-lenses on the @zooniverse.bsky.social platform using images from the #euclid #telescope. Thanks to @ec-euclid.bsky.social

Field Journal Fix-Up | Zooniverse - People-powered research Help us expand access to important biodiversity data by correcting computer-generated transcriptions of our field journals!

An amazing @zooniverse.bsky.social project where volunteers help correct text that will eventually be added to @biodivlibrary.bsky.social as the text file and used to help folk find data about species. www.zooniverse.org/projects/bg5... #HighlyRecommended #Zooniverse #ILoveBHL

🎉 Our last post marked TWO YEARS of the 'Will of the Month' series! 🎉

📜 We've now written about the wills of 25 people who lived and died between 1540-1790. You can find out more about some of them here: 👇

LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Celebrating 90,000 Classifications in a College Classroom in China From individual volunteers working on their own devices to students gaining hands-on research experience, the messages we receive often reveal how citizen science fits into very different lives and contexts. In this series, we are sharing a few of those stories. You can also read about a student’s work-experience journey in Kenya and a young asteroid hunter from India in our previous posts.

LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Hunting asteroids from India Every so often, a message arrives that reminds us what citizen science looks like from the other side of the screen. Not from a dashboard or a dataset, but from someone who has just discovered the thrill of contributing to real research. In this series, we’re sharing a few of those messages from volunteers around the world. You can also read about…

LOVE LETTERS TO ZOONIVERSE: Developing Data Analysis Skills in Kenya Sometimes, alongside the everyday flow of questions and bug reports, the Zooniverse team receives an unexpected “love letter.” A thank you.A story.A message from someone, somewhere in the world, telling us what Zooniverse has meant to them. This February, with permission from the authors, we’re sharing a small selection of those messages. They come from different continents, age groups, and classrooms, but they all point to the same thing: curiosity knows no borders, and science is better when it’s shared.

Getting familiar with our campus critters: Engaging non-science students in biology through wildlife Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) is nestled in eastern Los Angeles County, California surrounded by hillsides and large mountain ranges to the north and to the south. Aside from the typical college campus environment you would find, CPP is unique to have a mosaic of agricultural lands and a preserve right outside our building doors. With those open spaces, comes wildlife. &hellip;

Spot dolphins, describe what they’re doing, and help connect sounds to actions. Join Dolphin Spotting and help scientists see the full picture of dolphin communication.

✨ 🐬 Announcing a new Zooniverse project - DOLPHIN SPOTTING! In a bay of the Red Sea, dolphins live freely. A research team from IBENS use microphones, underwater cameras, and aerial videos to observe both dolphin sounds and behaviour together.

Come spot dolphins and help connect sounds to actions!
