Big news and a moment worth celebrating! Just 22 days into April, you made it happen. In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, we set an ambitious goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science for Citizen Science Month, and citizen scientists around the world didn’t just meet it. You surpassed it. Here’s what you’ve accomplished so far: 💙More than 200,000 volunteers across 159 countries have completed 2.50 MILLION Acts of Science through 413 citizen science projects and 285 events… and counting! 💙In 22 days, #CitizenScienceMonth, #SciStarter, and #ActsofScience have been mentioned more than 3,000 times, inspiring over 91,100 people to engage and help spread the movement to more than 9 million people worldwide. And we’re not done yet. Join us for our final Acts of Science: Connected event on April 29th with @NASA @DoNASAScience and @the_zooniverse, or discover more ways to participate at CitizenScienceMonth.org. Keep the momentum going all year long. Invite friends, family, and colleagues to join SciStarter at SciStarter.org to find local events and projects happening near you and around the world. We’ll share final numbers and celebrate everything we’ve achieved together on May 1. Congratulations, team. You’ve made this Citizen Science Month and this Earth Day truly extraordinary. Cheers! The SciStarter Team

Citizen Science Month is already making waves 🌍 As of April 9, 791,655 Acts of Science have been logged...and we’re just getting started. The goal: 2.50 million Acts of Science. Small actions, big impact. Want to join in? Join an Acts of Science: Connected event—live, guided sessions where scientists walk you through real research step by step. No experience needed. Join from anywhere. Stay for a few minutes or the full session. Upcoming events: • April 10 (TOMORROW!) – Transcribe Civil War records with the @smithsonian Transcription Center • April 16 – Move Alzheimer’s research forward with Stall Catchers • April 22 (Earth Day!) – Identify wildlife with Snapshot Wisconsin (@WDNR @the_zooniverse) • April 29 – Classify space images with @DoNASAScience @NASA's @VRubinObs Observatory Comet Catchers Prefer to participate anytime? There’s something for everyone, including these featured opportunities: 🐾 @darwinsarkfnd – Turn your pet into a research partner for Pet Day (April 11) 🦴 @WeDigBio aka Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections – Help digitize museum specimens (through April 12) 🌌 Dark Sky, Safer Fly – Contribute night sky and wildlife observations with projects including @GLOBEatNight, @Team_eBird, and @inaturalist (April 13–20) 🌧️ @CoCoRaHS – Track precipitation and support weather science Report your Acts of Science to earn prizes (including a free @newscientist subscription 👀), or contribute through SciStarter-affiliated projects to be featured on the Wall of Fame. Anyone can participate. Every act counts. Let’s keep it going. 🚀 👉 Read our full newsletter for a round-up of ideas to get involved: conta.cc/4bVVo9t #CitizenScienceMonth #actsofscience #CitSciMonth

We are now 6 days into Citizen Science Month! More than 50 events have already taken place—and we’re not even a full week in. All April, SciStarter invites you to contribute to real research in just minutes—by analyzing data, classifying images, or joining live events. This year, you can go even deeper. Through a partnership with New Scientist—a global publication covering breakthroughs in health, climate, technology, and space—eligible participants may receive a complimentary 12-month digital subscription. Take part in a project, then explore the discoveries behind it. Start here: CitizenScienceMonth.org #ActsofScience #NewScientist @newscientist #CitizenScienceMonth

April is Citizen Science Month — and we’re going live. Acts of Science: Connected is a weekly series of guided Zoom events where anyone can contribute to real research, together. What’s an Act of Science? One measurable contribution to research — like classifying an image, transcribing a document, identifying a species, or spotting a comet. Every click counts. This April, we’re working toward 2.50 million Acts of Science to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Join anytime, from anywhere. Each week features live sessions with scientists from NASA, the Smithsonian, and more — with multiple time slots and no experience needed. Plus, report your Act of Science and get a free year-long digital subscription to New Scientist. Science doesn’t just happen in labs. It works better when we show up. Register: SciStarter.org/Connected #actsofscience #CitSciMonth @DoNASAScience @smithsonian @WDNR @the_zooniverse

On April 2, help NASA scientists decode the weather on Mars. Examine real Red Planet data. Scan satellite observations. Spot clouds and atmospheric changes in the Martian sky. Each classification feeds directly into ongoing research on Mars’ weather and climate. This live event is part of Acts of Science: Connected during Citizen Science Month, presented by SciStarter. Join for as long—or as little—as you’d like. Save your spot: bit.ly/mars-in-april #CitSciMonth #ActsofScience PS: You might recognize the voice in the video…that’s Charles Blue (aka Blue the Science Dude), a longtime NASA communicator! @DoNASAScience @NASA @NASAMars @CloudspottingM

Did you know? Each year, tiny Bogong moths in Australia travel over 600 miles at night—navigating using the stars! 🌌 These incredible insects migrate to cool mountain caves to escape the heat, then return months later to mate and complete their life cycle. Scientists only recently discovered that, like birds and humans, these moths use the night sky as their compass. 🤯🧭 Learn more about Bogong Moths: cnn.it/45gb1VH Want to witness the magic of moths yourself? It’s super easy: 🔦 Hang a white sheet and shine a light on it after dark. 👀 Watch as moths and other night insects come to visit. 📸 Record your sightings using iNaturalist to help monitor nocturnal biodiversity! Learn more from our friends @Moth_Week and tag us both to share your favorite sightings during #NationalMothWeek! #MothWeek #MothNight #Mothing #CitizenScience #Biodiversity #ActsOfScience #iNaturalist #Australia

Will gravity cause objects to fall and accelerate downward at the same rate? We can experiment and prove this true, but we might need a vacuum chamber! Read more about how at astrocampschool.org/gravity-… #astrocamp #actsofscience #featherinavacuumchamber #galileo
