You! Yes you! Want to do awesome science 🧪? Get yourself some of the best and most enthusiastic collaborators through citizen science!

Check out my world view for @natureportfolio.bsky.social on chemistry ⚗️ citizen science. (I'm v.proud of the pun at the end!).

Citizen scientists can be chemists — give them a chance
When research on an intriguing material called for hundreds of samples, secondary-school students, teachers and technicians stepped up.

One good thing about cold-emailing from random journals is they occasionally remind you of some fun stuff you'd forgotten about. I made an #UpGoer5 post about our @etchacell.bsky.social #CitizenScience and #BioImageAnalysis from only the ten-hundred most common words

A screengrab from an email saying: "Dear Dr Martin Jones, I trust this letter finds you well. The Journal of <redacted> is writing to express its interest in your paper, "Making new ways of understanding very small building-blocks of life using picture-taking-boxes with a very large make-bigger-power". We were impressed by the originality of your research and its relevance to the field covered by our journal. We would, thus, like to invite you to submit your paper for publication in our journal, subject to it not having been previously published elsewhere. Submission Process: Please forward your manuscript as an attachment to this email or submit via the journal’s official page by 20th March, 2024. We look forward to your response with interest. Thank you for your time and consideration. Regards, <redacted> Editorial Manager"
