Hey everyone! I’m a junior and I love contributing to citizen science projects in astronomy, such as SCOPE, The Milky Way Project, Higgs Hunters, etc.
I’m not sure if this will count as an EC. By the way, I’m doing them because I actually enjoy it and wanna help scientists, not because it’ll look good or whatever. The time commitment each week isn’t significant (2-3 hours), but I feel like my list isn’t complete without them since I look forward to participating every single day. However, I don’t want admission officers to think that I’m padding my resume with things that “sound important”, because those are seriously not my intentions.
Any advice guys? Oh, and a little thing about these projects is that anyone can get involved, so it’s not restricted to certain people with certain accomplishments.
