SUSPENDED Senior Science Quiz

The National Senior Science Quiz will not run this year as it was deemed too risky during a pandemic. Last year’s Questions & Answers for 3 Quizzes (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) are in the Members Area of the website. If you use the Search Function on the top right of the homepage and type in QUIZ you should find them once you are logged in as a member. As it is a new set of students there should be no issues. Did not have time to do new quizzes this year!

Access Science: calling all citizen scientists

Access Science: calling all citizen scientists. Contact us at science@irishtimes.com or on Twitter @dickahlstrom with your scientific input, observations and questions you would like answered.

Would you like to control a robotic telescope sitting on a rooftop in California? Would you like to help track an invasive shrew as it spreads across the countryside? Or would you like to be involved in studies tracking how climate change is altering our seasons?

Access Science, in which non-scientists and amateur scientists are asked to take over, where the discoveries you make and the information you record contribute in a real way to the advancement of knowledge. The arrival of Twitter, Facebook and other social medias has supported the growing involvement of real people in real scientific studies.

Citizen Science will encourage people to get involved and will announce new opportunities to participate. It will deliver results from crowd-sourced studies and will include your views and opinions.

And your views will sustain the network and provide fresh ideas that will open up science for young and old. And if you have a burning science question, our panel of experts will try to answer it for you.

Citizen Science will appear on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month and will give you the opportunity to contribute to science coverage in The Irish Times.
