PROJECT GOAL TASK Backyard Bark Beetles Monitor bark & ambrosia beetles Trap & send beetles for ID. See what you caught on a live map! TreeSnap Locate threatened trees for scientists to study Collect sightings of threatened trees MyEnvironment Provide environmental data for any U.S. location. Access free tools and data; contribute and share your own data. Project FeederWatch Monitor backyard feeder birds. Count birds in the participant's backyard. Balloon Breakdown Help compost 40,000 latex balloons Compost a small sample of latex balloons Cat Tracker Learn the secret life of your outdoor cat using GPS technology! Put a GPS harness on your outdoor cat!
PROJECT GOAL TASK Celebrate Urban Birds Help ornithologists learn about 16 key species of urban birds. Track 16 species of birds for 10 mins in small area. Global Garlic Mustard Field Survey Help scientists gather much- needed data on the abundance and distribution of an invasive plant called garlic mustard Understand the spread of invasive garlic mustards. Showerhead Microbiome Discover what microbes live in your showerhead. Swab your showerhead and send in the sample. Foldit Foldit players can also design new protein drugs themselves. In our Coronavirus Challenge, you can design an anti-viral protein to interfere with the infection pathway of the 2019 coronavirus. The best designs are manufactured and tested by scientists at the UW Institute for Protein Design. Fold and design proteins for scientific research Play a competitive online game to fold proteins.
PROJECT GOAL TASK Stream Selfie Map streams across the country and start testing the waters. Simply snap a pic of your local stream and share it! GLOBE Observer: Clouds Help scientists understand the sky from above and below Photograph clouds, record sky observations and share with NASA American Meteor Society - Meteor observing Accurate observer reports on fireballs and meteors Use the AMS smartphone app or report an observation online ARTigo ARTigo builds an artwork search engine While playing games, player are tagging artworks Stall Catchers Speed up Alzheimer's research Report stalls, clogged blood vessels, in movies of mice's brains
