How:
Today, there is more science to be done than people to do it! From an overabundance of data to a desperate need for distributed data collection, people are both needed to collect and to process information about our Earth and the universe beyond. Filling this need are people of all ages who participate in projects ranging from mapping other worlds to mapping the structure of proteins. This session will help you learn about amazing discoveries made by everyday people, and how you can participate in science.
