Eco Youths Network in Germany🤞
This week, on Thursday, 17th Sept 2026... Ethan Timothy will be in Germany at the University of Hohenheim ( @unihohenheim ) in Stuttgart
Ethan has been invited to speak with students and researchers at the Institute of Biology about the work we are doing in Uganda around how youths involve in sustainable farming, permaculture, climate change and nature conservation.
This is also an opportunity for us to discuss potential Citizen Science collaborations between the Eco Youths Network Uganda & University of Hohenheim Germany
We requested the seminar to be recorded, we'll be sharing how it went, see you on Wednesday

🪧 Lake James BioBlitz
September 19, 2026🌞 The North Carolina Native Plant Society Foothills Chapter and Lake James State Park are hosting a BioBlitz that invites the public to document plants, fungi, insects, birds, and other wildlife using iNaturalist. The event serves both as citizen science and environmental education.

✨ Nova Sagittae 2026 (V488 Sge) erupted on 25 Aug 2026 at magnitude 6–7, within reach of binoculars. Its discovery and follow-up are largely amateur work, with AAVSO issuing a comparison chart within hours. The Virtual Telescope Project imaged the classical nova.

Space Warps Needs You!
I did a post a few months ago about Space Warps, a new citizen science project on the Zooniverse platform, in which volunters can search to find rare and elusive strong gravitational lenses in never-before-seen images captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The project aims at shining a light on dark matter in galaxies and providing clues about the mysterious thing call dark energy.
The Space Warps Euclid project is entering the closing stages, but there is still about a week in which you can help with refining the final sample. Read more about it here:

I want to monitor #DataCenter sound and need a test source for #Infrasound.
The Union Pacific West Coast corridor is just 1,300 feet - about 1/4 mile or 4 city blocks - from my home. Railway measurements show substantial energy below 20 Hz; one recent study even identified a repeatable 14.2 Hz component from a diesel train.
I'm ecstatic: the constant freight trains may become my infrasound laboratory.

#CitizenScience afficionados, #Euclid scientists would like to again solicit your input for classifying #GravitationalLensing systems. We need a sprint finish before the science analysis can be completed. 18000 galaxies that are maybe acting as lenses are waiting for your eyes and brains.
Do you want to join?

Zooniverse has published the first-ever AI Ethics Framework for citizen science. A year in the making, built on 4 workshops and volunteer surveys with over 1,000 responses. It sets out key principles, a "5 Ws" approach for describing AI/ML use in a project, and recommendations for research teams. Nearly a third of Zooniverse projects now use AI or ML. Open data policy stays.

🐴🦥🐘🐪 #FossilFriday — Horse incisor & molar from Brown County
Brown County keeps delivering Ice Age finds — horse molars, mammoth tusk, and pelvis fragments from local gravels. Three New Ulm horse molars are already headed for radiocarbon dating, with more finds coming.
Lost Bones #7 is out this week and updates on Lost Bones #4 (the horse project) were previously posted:

🔭 The HOYS citizen science project (University of Kent) has published its milestone 400th "light curve of the week". It shows the variable star V908Per in the young cluster IC 348: half-magnitude swings on ever-changing timescales, larger amplitudes at shorter wavelengths – a textbook "Orion Variable". Amateur astronomers take the data; the archive is open.
