Abstract: Volunteers have long played a role in advancing scientific research and monitoring, but new tools and methods are rapidly expanding the ways they can participate. The Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science Act of 2016 states citizen science projects“have a number of additional unique benefits, including accelerating scientific research, increasing cost effectiveness to maximize the return on taxpayer dollars, addressing societal needs, providing hands-on learning in STEM, and connecting members of the public directly to Federal science agency missions and to each other”. We will discuss NOAA’s approach to citizen science (also known as community science) and look at 4 projects including: 1) Cooperative Observer Program; 2) Crowdsourced Bathymetry; 3) Hudson River Eel Project; and 4) Old Weather. Learn how you can get involved in NOAA’s citizen science community whether you are a project manager, a prospective volunteer, or are simply curious.
About the Speakers: Chris Bowser is the Education Coordinator for the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve.He has served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa and teaches environmental science at Marist College.
Amy Fritz is the new National Cooperative Observer Program managers as of April, 2019. She manages the Cooperative Observer (COOP) program comprised of over 10,000 volunteers at 8100 sites that provided daily meteorological readings, mainly precipitation and temperature, to the U.S. Climate Record.
Jennifer Jencks is the Director of the IHO Data Centre for Digital Bathymetry, which is hosted by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) in Boulder, Colorado. She leads the NCEI Ocean and Coastal Mapping Team and is actively involved with many national and international seafloor mapping projects.
John McLaughlin is a Program Officer with NOAA's Environmental Literacy Program. He has worked in citizen science since 2002 and serves as a Citizen Science Coordinator for the agency.
Laura Oremland is an Education Program Manager in the NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology. She has worked in citizen science since 2015 with a special focus on incorporated citizen science into fisheries research.
Gil Compo is a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences and NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory Physical Sciences Division. He leads the NOAA-CIRES-DOE 20th Century Reanalysis Project, the global weather reconstruction now spanning 1806 to 2015, and is a co-lead of the Old Weather citizen science project recovering marine weather observations to better understand global weather and its changes since observational records began. Old Weather has involved more than 20,000 people since its inception in 2010.

Why No Aquarium In the World Has a Great White Shark?
Even if you absolutely love aquariums and have been to dozens of them, there's one sea creature you’ll never ever come across there. Not a single aquarium in the world has a great white shark. Is the great white not cool enough to be put on display? Are people afraid of being attacked even when these animals are confined within thick walls made of special glass?
There have been plenty of attempts to hold these creatures captive. In 1955, the first great white was captured and sent to Marineland of the Pacific in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the animal didn't even make it through one day at the oceanarium. Scientists still don't know much about the great white shark, but they have come up with several theories.

SUMMARY
-These massive fish can be spotted in cool coastal waters all over the world. “Human” isn’t on a great white’s menu. In general, there are no more than 10 attacks a year.
-In 1955, the first great white was captured and sent to Marineland of the Pacific in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the animal didn't even make it through one day at the oceanarium. The SeaWorld in San Diego managed to keep a great white for 16 days back in 2003, but they ended up deciding to release the animal back into the ocean.
-Scientists still don't know much about the great white shark, but they have come up with several theories.
-Believe it or not, depression and shock can bring these powerful creatures down.
-No aquarium in the world can provide the animal with conditions to let it move as it does in the wild.
-In a tank, great whites can't move freely, so they develop problems with their respiratory system. What's more, a shark can suffer from hypoxia, or a deficiency of oxygen.
-Since they need to hunt down their prey and eat it alive, they often refuse to eat in captivity.
-You can't even imagine how hard it is to mimic the ocean’s unique water composition.
-Great white sharks are extremely important for keeping the ecological balance in the oceans. Losing just one shark endangers the entire ecosystem. Unfortunately, there are just about 3,500 of them left in the world.

Dalhousie University
Dalhousie University
Dalhousie University (commonly known as Dal) is a public research university in Nova Scotia, Canada, with three campuses in Halifax, a fourth in Bible Hill, and a fifth in Saint John New Brunswick. Dalhousie offers more than 4,000 courses and 180 degree programs in twelve undergraduate, graduate, and professional faculties.[3] The university is a member of the U15, a group of research-intensive universities in Canada.
Dalhousie was established as a nonsectarian college in 1818 by the eponymous Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie. The college did not hold its first class until 1838, until then operating sporadically due to financial difficulties. It reopened for a third time in 1863 following a reorganization that brought a change of name to The Governors of Dalhousie College and University. The university formally changed its name to Dalhousie University in 1997 through provincial legislation, the same legislation that merged the institution with the Technical University of Nova Scotia.
The university's notable alumni include a Nobel Prize winner, two Canadian Prime Ministers, two Herzberg Prize winners, a NASA astronaut who was the first American woman to walk in space, 89 Rhodes Scholars, and a range of other top government officials, academics, and business leaders. The university ranked 235th in the 2014 QS World University Rankings,[4] 226-250th in the 2014-2015 Times Higher Education World University Rankings,[5] and 201–300th in the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities.[6] Dalhousie is a centre for marine research, and is host to the headquarters of the Ocean Tracking Network.

Why Scientists Don't Freak Out About UFO Videos
If you've been online recently, you've probably seen this. This is one of two clips released by the Department of Defense. Both videos show a thermal image of an unidentified flying object. The videos have been widely shared and scrutinized. A lot of people think this is the first real evidence that extraterrestrials exist, and that they've visited us here on Earth.
There's just one thing. Most people in the scientific community don't think these videos prove anything.
People have been claiming to see UFOs for decades. Countless videos purporting to show alien aircraft have been popping up since the invention of film. But this video is unique. It was released by the Department of Defense who found the video noteworthy enough to study and release.
Until 2012, the DOD says it ran a secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. The program was funded by $22 million dollars worth of black money. These are funds the Pentagon sets aside for classified programs.
Cmdr. David Fravor: Both of us, both airplanes see a disturbance in the water and a white, 40-foot-long Tic Tac-shaped object.
This is Cmdr. David Fravor. He was one of the Navy pilots that spotted the UFO.
Cmdr. David Fravor: I get over to the 8 o'clock position, it's at about the 2 o'clock position, and I decide I'm gonna go see what it is and it's about 200 feet below me. And I cut across the circle and as I get about a half mile of it, it rapidly accelerates to the south in about two seconds and disappears.
All this seems pretty incredible, so why don't scientists care?
Caleb Scharf: I think it's very, very difficult as a scientist to look at something like this and say anything except, you know, it's intriguing. But I would need a vast amount more documentation and context to really understand what's going on here.
Caleb Scharf is an astronomer and director of the multidisciplinary Columbia Astrobiology Center.
Caleb Scharf: The difficulty with this kind of problem is that you can't plan for it.
Carolin Frueh: Yeah, because I think that's exactly, one cannot tell much from the video.
That’s Carolin Frueh, she's an assistant professor at Purdue School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Carolin Frueh: Yeah, I would like to know what the wind was ... was there turbulence?
What they're talking about, is the scientific method. Basically, before scientists will accept something as fact, a lot of research and testing has to be done. And it all has to take place in a controlled environment.
Caleb Scharf: You can't plan for it. You can't really set up a thorough, proper scientific experiment. It's all reliant on serendipitous data. And that's one of the most difficult kinds of problems to solve in science. So I'm not surprised that we don't have a good answer yet.
Caleb Scharf: I suspect pilots across the decades have seen all sorts of interesting stuff out of their window. But again, jumping to saying what you're seeing could be some advanced technological spacecraft. That's a really big leap to make.
But these videos were released by the US government. There has to be some significance ... right?
Caleb Scharf: I suppose there's a spirit of openness about it, if you don't know what you're looking at, then throw it out to the world and say Look this is what we've got. You can interpret it in a variety of different ways.
If we're using the scientific method, hard evidence and a cacophony of data are the best metrics for explaining this phenomenon. But what if you did see it for yourself? Would you still need an experiment to explain it?
Cmdr. David Fravor: I believe, as do other folks that were on the flight who visually saw it, that it was not from this world.
The Cmdr. is not alone. The videos continue to be scrutinized by a lot of people who agree this is an alien aircraft.
As for the DOD, other than releasing the video, they haven't said much. Presumably, they have access to more data from the flight, and from reports made immediately after the encounter. Releasing more info could begin to answer to scientists' questions. But ultimately, even that might not be enough.
Caleb Scharf: On the one hand, I could be really cynical about all of this but I think it's really wonderful that people are intrigued by phenomena that they see out in the world. That's a good thing. That's a positive thing, our curiosity is a positive thing. And to be honest, if there are strange things floating around up there, I'd like to know what they are. The difficulty with this kind of problem is that you can't plan for it.

Athletes of the Great Barrier Reef | Jodie Rummer | TEDxJCUCairns
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The world is fascinated with athletes, but the reasons that humans pursue ‘fitness’ and the traits we associate with a good athlete may be quite different from the rest of the animal kingdom.
Jodie is a scientist at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (JCU) with a strong background in marine biology (BSc, MSc degrees, USA) and animal physiology (PhD, Canada; post-doctoral, Hong Kong). She has done extensive research on fish buoyancy, exercise, and environmental perturbations (e.g. water quality, habitat degradation) and, although early in her career, has become a leading authority on the evolution of oxygen transport in fish and how they maintain performance during stress. Today, Jodie combines ecology, evolution, and physiology to address conservation issues such as the effects of climate change on coral reef fishes.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
