In this fifth issue of MJV's citizen science newsletter (MonarchNet News):
- SciStarter receives $35,000 to advance citizen science; the Citizen Science Association continues to develop; and a study finds that citizen scientists contribute significantly to climate change research, but aren't always recognized.
- Program Highlight: Cape May Monarch Monitoring Project volunteers survey the local monarch population that moves through the area each year during the fall migration.
- Volunteer Spotlight: Cathy Downs, a volunteer eductor and monarch citizen science trainer in Texas, works to get as many people engaged in monarch conservation and monitoring as she can.
