Sugen på att forska? Aldrig förr har det funnits så många möjligheter för vem som helst att delta i riktig forskning. Här berättar vi om några av de medborgarforskningsprojekt som VA har på gång 2020.
The Star-Spotting Experiment, VA’s 2019 citizen science project to investigate light pollution, was shortlisted for the 2019 Falling Walls Science Engagement of the Year competition. Project manager, Lena Söderström was invited to Berlin in November to present the project in the final of the competition at the Falling Walls Conference. Here we talk to her about the experience.
This year’s Swedish Researchers’ Night mass experiment – the Star-Spotting Experiment – is to be run in Ireland, Spain, the UK and Sweden this coming autumn and winter.
The Star-Spotting Experiment, this year’s citizen science project in connection with the European Researchers’ Night events in Sweden, is now well underway. Members of the public across Sweden are helping scientists to measure light pollution by counting stars in the sky and recording the data in a specially-designed app. Here we catch up with Lena Söderström, Project Manager at VA (Public & Science), who is coordinating the Star-Spotting Experiment, to find out how the project is progressing.
Förra året fick forskare förstärkning av tusentals svenska skolelever. En del tog kort på nyckelpigor i massexperimentet Nyckelpigeförsöket, andra hjälpte till att granska politiska nyheter i Nyhetsvärderaren Valspecial. Nu kommer resultaten i två populärvetenskapliga rapporter.
Nu är det strax valborg! Ta med ditt Stjärnförsöks-rör och göra en stjärnskådning när valborgselden har falnat. Vi vill få in 1 000 stjärnobservationer för vårens analys.
Street lamps, illuminated signs and buildings – lights at night improve safety and make cities more attractive, but have also been shown to have negative effects for humans and animals. The more light there is, the fewer stars you can see in the night sky. In this year’s mass experiment, more than 11,000 pupils, families and other members of the public will help scientists measure light pollution by counting stars in the sky.
