Citizen Science Lockdown Science Experiments for Younger Children 27 May 2020 Dr Emily Shuckburgh - Director at Cambridge Zero has created a video of science experiments aimed at younger children about the properties of ice and the impact of climate change. Citizen Science CloudCatcher - Citizen Science Project 20 May 2020 CloudCatcher is a beautiful new citizen science project on the Zooniverse app: here’s why you should take part! Weather How Are Rainbows Formed? 28 April 2020 Rainbows are one of the most admired meteorological phenomena across the globe, but how are they formed? Weather What is upward lightning? Over the past few years, Dakota USA native Tom A Warner and his colleagues have been filming lightning on high-speed cameras. In total, they have captured 776 naturally occurring lightning flashes with recording speeds as high as 100,000 images per second. In the Spotlight Saharan Dust and Heart Failure 05 February 2020 A new study published in 2020 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, has highlighted just how serious dust storms can be for those living within the Earth’s dust belt.
