“To have a just and sustainable world we need to adopt a new cultural norm in which being a responsible person on this plant means that we observe our surrounding with intension…and we share what we see, hear, smell, find and that we report when we see hummingbirds return to our feeder, we monitor the streams that run through out local parks, we track the air quality in our school yards, that we and our devises become part of a network taking the pulse of the planet.”

--Dr. Caren Cooper, TEDx talk in Greensboro, NC

In just a couple of years, Global Citizen Science Month (April) has grown from a single day of events, to a coordinated effort supported by SciStarter, the National Library of Medicine, Arizona State University, the Citizen Science Association, Science Friday, National Geographic, and many other collaborators from around the world. Global Citizen Science Month encompasses online events and opportunities to contribute to projects from home.
