Three Million Volunteers! YouTube video by The Zooniverse

youtube.com/shorts/laQEe...

3 million volunteers! Congratulations, Zooniverse! Today we have reached an extraordinary milestone: 3 million volunteers contributing to people-powered research around the world. From classifying galaxies and discovering exoplanets to tracking wildlife, transcribing historical records, and supporting research in ecology, climate science, cell biology, and the humanities, our community has helped make real science possible at a scale no individual team could achieve alone.

Candy was a leader of the Mars Zoo @zooniverse.bsky.social project, and sometime guest on #SkyAtNight. I hugely admired her leadership in all things, but her advocacy for the importance of getting a camera on Juno. She’ll be much missed. 🔭

✨ We are so close to 3 million registered volunteers on Zooniverse! Here is a special Citizen Science Month message from Zooniverse Co-Director and Digital Humanities lead Dr Samantha Blickhan.

✨🌊 Announcing new Zooniverse project - Kelp Quest (Seattle Aquarium). @seattleaquarium.bsky.social scientists ask volunteers to look at real underwater photos and help identify what is covering the ocean bottom. Join the project to help protect kelp forests and the animals that depend on them.

Many important fish species gather in large groups to reproduce at predictable locations and times. This predictability makes them extra vulnerable to fishing pressure. Acting like underwater oases, solution holes provide shelter and food for many marine animals, in an otherwise flat, open seascape. These cameras enable observation of marine species without disturbing them. Especially, rare behaviors, nocturnal or shy animals that divers might miss. Help researchers analyze footage collected by underwater cameras. By identifying species and behaviors, you’ll be contributing to meaningful science! The ocean’s full of secrets – just when you think you’ve seen it all…boom, something new!

✨🐠 Announcing new Zooniverse project - Marine Lens: Florida Keys! The Marine Lens team has captured thousands of underwater videos to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems, and now they need your help to sort through it!

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.
