Well, citizen science projects have blossomed-- I mean, there's more and more opportunities for people to get involved. And the projects are getting, I think, slightly more sophisticated. Partly, this is because technology has enabled people. It's enabled them to communicate and to deal with a very wide scope of projects. Also to deal with data sets that are distributed electronically. I mean, masses of opportunities there. So what advice would you give to people who want to get involved in citizen science projects?

JANICE ANSINE

Well, first of all, don't be daunted by it, that there is a lot out there. But just pick on the thing that interests you the most and explore from there. There are many opportunities out there, if you're not-- if you're not keen on biodiversity, but are really keen about understanding what's happening with the stars, try Zooniverse. If you really want to explore and understand the different flora and fauna, the different insects and plants that you see out there, have a look at iSpot. The key thing is getting involved, do something, our nature needs it.
