SciStarter Podcast S5E9: Global Bird Migration

Billions of birds are on the move for the fall migration, flying to points south, with many covering thousands of miles. In this podcast, world-renowned ornithologist Pete Marra discusses the migration and the challenges that migratory birds face, as well as what we can do to help monitor and protect them.

In this encore presentation of our August 2022 podcast episode, we celebrate National Dog Day (August 26th) with some canine citizen science. Scientists would like to learn about dog personalities and genetics; what traits help them perform well as service animals; and how environmental factors could affect their health. If you have a canine companion, you have the perfect lab partner!

Projects featured in the podcast include:

C-BARQ

Darwin's Ark

Also, check out this study from Darwin's Ark, published in the journal Science, based on data provided by citizen scientists!
