Extension summary

Help a Scientist replaces the new tab of your browser with an opportunity to participate in a citizen science project.

Each time you refresh the page or open a new tab, there will be a new fun task waiting for you. If something catches your eye, simply clicking the button will take you to the SciStarter page to tell you exactly how to contribute to the project.

Your contribution may help real researchers obtain real results!

User reviews

It's a great way to find citizen science projects that can be of your interest and /or are located near you!, It's really useful and funny to see a new project (and their links top follow them) every-time you open a new tab in your (best) web explorer! Will be nice to include more cities and countries!
