On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of meeting with folks from Science House. James Jorasch (Founder) and Gabi De Wit (Project Coordinator) are helping me and my partner, Michael Gold, with the January 2010 beta launch of ScienceforCitizens.net, a major multifunctional Web site that will act as a centralized hub to enable people to learn about, participate in, and contribute to science through recreational and formal research activities. Stay tuned!
In the interim, check out all that Science House has to offer. They have one simple mission: bring people together to promote and advance science. And they’re executing many creative programs to achieve that goal.
(I just submitted a photo to their Humorous Science Photo Contest.)
Have you heard of LabRats, iDoScience, and the Society for Amateur Scientists (all the brainchildren of Shawn Carlson)? Sounds similar to your Scienceforcitizens project.

Sci-Cheer…
Cudo’s on the forthcoming scienceforcitzens.net project! I’m certain it will be every bit as interesting, more challenging and delightful as your sciencecheerleader.com gateway. I must admit…nobody cheers-on science quite like you! Congrats!
