I was recently reading the January - February  2026 issue of "Science Scope", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read the section, "Citizen Science" written by Jill Nugent. She wrote an article entitled "Data and Discovery from the Sea to the Science Classroom." Students can follow in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin's study of ocean currents, by participating in the citizen science "Global Ocean Surface Ecosystem Alliance Project (GO-SEA)."  You can learn more about the project at: https://goseascience.org

Citizen Science hat Expeditionskreuzfahrten in die Arktis und Antarktis grundlegend verändert. Reisende sind heute nicht mehr nur Beobachter spektakulärer Natur, sondern werden selbst Teil wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Ob bei der Identifikation von Walen über Foto-Datenbanken wie Happy Whale, bei Vogelzählungen, Eisbeobachtungen oder Beach Clean-ups an entlegenen Küsten – jede einzelne Beobachtung trägt dazu bei, die Polarregionen besser zu verstehen und langfristig zu schützen.In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Dr. Michael Wenger über die spannendsten Citizen-Science-Projekte an Bord von Expeditionsschiffen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie diese Programme funktionieren, welchen konkreten Nutzen sie für die Wissenschaft haben und warum gerade die Polarregionen auf die Mithilfe engagierter Reisender angewiesen sind. Michael erklärt, wie aus vielen kleinen Beiträgen belastbare Datensätze entstehen und weshalb Citizen Science nicht nur Forschung unterstützt, sondern auch den Blick der Reisenden auf diese sensiblen Regionen nachhaltig verändert.Eine Folge über Wissenschaft zum Anfassen, echte Beteiligung und die Frage, warum Expeditionsreisen weit über das reine Naturerlebnis hinausgehen.

In dieser Folge von Drei Generationen – Eine Zukunft sprechen Stefan Wally (Gen X), Carmen Bayer (Gen Y) und Miriam Nichtl (Gen Z) über das Buch „Stadt unter Druck“ – welches einen klugen Blick auf die aktuellen Herausforderungen urbaner Räume wirft und untersucht, wie Städte in Zukunft gestaltet werden können. Im zweiten Teil unterhält sich Stefan mit Sebastian Haumann über die Frage, wie Wissenschaftler:innen gemeinsam mit Bewohner:innen Stadtgeschichte schreiben können. Denn die Geschichte der eigenen Stadt, des eigenen Stadtteils oder des eigenen Dorfes ist vielen Menschen wichtig. Aber wer schreibt diese Stadtgeschichten eigentlich? Ein Blick in die Praxis zeigt, dass es hier viele unterschiedliche Akteure gibt: Wissenschaftler:innen, aber auch Kommunen mit ihren Museen und Archiven, und vor allem engagierte Bürger:innen in Geschichtsvereinen und erinnerungskulturellen Initiativen. Obwohl diese „Arbeitsteilung“ in der Stadtgeschichte eine lange Tradition hat, ist es oftmals eher ein Nebeneinander als ein Miteinander. Hier kann Citizen Science neue Impulse setzen. Der Univ. Prof. für Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Umweltgeschichte Sebastian Haumann erzählt, worauf es dabei ankommt. Input: Sebastian Haumann: Univ.

For more than two decades, millions of volunteers turned their home computers into a planet-scale telescope, donating idle processing power to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence through SETI@home. That effort ended in 2020—but the data never stopped speaking. Now, UC Berkeley scientists have taken a fresh, rigorous look at the vast SETI@home archive and identified around 100 intriguing signals that warrant closer scrutiny. In this SETI Live, host Beth Johnson is joined by Eric Korpela (UC Berkeley), one of the scientists behind the original SETI@home project and the new analyses. Together, they'll unpack how citizen science made this work possible, what these signals actually are (and are not), how researchers sort cosmic noise from something genuinely interesting, and what this next phase of investigation means for the future of SETI. Are any of these signals evidence of technology beyond Earth? Probably not—but "probably" is exactly where the science gets interesting. Join us for a deep dive into distributed computing, signal vetting, and what happens after the screensavers stop. (Recorded live 22 January 2026.)

We went live for the NASA broadcast of the release of images of the Interplanetary "comet" 3I-Atlas, which was delayed due to the government shutdown. As the cultural curiosity surrounding 3I-ATLAS went viral during the poorly timed government shutdown, it was a unique opportunity for NASA to do what it does best. Share data and spend a little more time with the actual experts to explore that curiosity and dig deeper into what we found.  Unfortunately, it feels as though the government shutdown and funding cuts proposed by the current President's cabinet was more of an influence on this 3I-ATLAS review than curiosity was. If you wanted to know how I feel about this you can rewatch it live.  Two major themes for me: - Don't be an intellectual bully. There are curious people out there who are not trolling you (NASA). Talk to those people without demeaning their curiosity - The definition of a "Comet" is vague and outdated. Just like Pluto needed to be reclassified as a dwarf planet, we need a better term for these icy objects.  Would love to know what you think!

Green sea turtle conservation shows us what's possible when people, policy, and passion align. Once nearly wiped out by overharvesting and habitat loss, the green sea turtle has made an inspiring recovery after decades of global protection. In this episode, Andrew Lewin shares a deeply personal story of encountering a turtle nest in Florida with his daughters and reflects on how that moment connects to today's IUCN Red List update. But while the turtle story offers hope, the latest report warns of darker trends. Arctic seals like the harp, hooded, and bearded seals are now at greater risk as melting sea ice robs them of essential habitat, and 61 percent of the world's bird species are in decline due to deforestation, agriculture, invasive species, and climate change. Andrew breaks down how the balance between success and loss reveals both the fragility of nature and the power of sustained conservation. This episode isn't just about wildlife; it's about people choosing to act. Andrew explains how individual and collective choices—from voting and policy advocacy to supporting community-based conservation—can determine which species recover and which fade away.

On October 6, 2025, hundreds of space advocates from across the United States joined The Planetary Society and 20 partner organizations on Capitol Hill to deliver one clear message: protect NASA’s science budget. We begin with Ari Koeppel, AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow and Space Policy Intern at The Planetary Society, who shares why this moment matters for scientists facing uncertainty about their future. Then Britney Schmidt, planetary scientist at Cornell University and member of The Planetary Society’s Board of Directors, calls in from Washington, D.C., to share what it’s like on the ground as hundreds of advocates come together to defend the future of space science. Next, we take you to the press conference on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, featuring Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society, Representative Glenn Ivey of Maryland’s 4th District, Marcel Agüeros, president-elect of the American Astronomical Society, and Brandon Jones, President of the American Geophysical Union. Together, they urge Congress to restore NASA’s science funding and maintain the United States' leadership in discovery. We close with Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at The Planetary Society, reflecting on the power of grassroots advocacy and what comes next for the Save NASA Science campaign. Finally, in What’s Up, Bruce Betts, The Planetary Society’s chief scientist, joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to look ahead, exploring the great mysteries we could solve in the coming years if we continue to invest in space science.
