Chicago squirrels promoting citizen scientists

As per Project Squirrel, you can now become a Citizen Scientist by contributing your observations of squirrels from your office, home, park or anywhere else in Chicago.

This data will then be used to study the ecology of our neighborhoods and determine how our local environment is changing.

Twitterers were quick to respond:
