About: I'm the publisher and blogger of CitizenSci.com (and CritterGeek.com, a site about animals). In my day job, I work for MAKE Magazine.
My favorite moment doing citizen science was on hawk hill, towards the end of a long day, when a red-tailed hawk decided to kite right above us. As if that weren't enough, a second red-tailed floated in right next to it and also hung in the air, looking down on us as if making their own count. I looked at the hawks, and at the hawk watchers watching them, and caught Steve's eye and smiled...magic.

Helmut Wimmer, 80, Painter With Planetarium for a Canvas, Dies - New York Times
I worked with Helmut for the short time I was an intern at the planetarium. He was retiring that year and not around every day, but he was an interesting fellow when you did have the chance to sit with him for a while. I just found a print of a painting of a black hole he gave me back then.

I'm having a new logo created for CitizenSci.com and I've used the first version here. I'm getting a revised version that's somewhat based on this, so that will be updating soon. What do you think of it?
