Citizen scientists study all sorts of things, from the bacteria hiding in our belly buttons to objects zooming around in outer space. They work with professional scientists to make discoveries, record data and build knowledge that helps all of us. You may not have specialized training, but you don't need it All you need is curiosity about the world around you and an eagerness to take action.
