Become a Citizen Scientist

When you don’t have the time or resources, becoming a scientist can feel like a far-away dream. However, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Organizations such as NASA, National Geographic, and the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Ocean Service all offer citizen science opportunities.
