 Ask A Scientist
You have questions about nature. We all do. Environmental scientists
begin their research by asking a question about how a natural system
works and then designing a step-by-step method to learn the answer.
Examples of Questions Scientists Ask
- How can we make the water cleaner in our lakes and rivers?
- Why is the water murky in the river? Can fish live there?
- Do we have more flooding problems today than we used to? If so, why?
- Are there fewer bees to pollinate my flowers today than there were 5 years ago?
- How can I encourage more types of native plants and flowers to grow in the prairie?
You are a Citizen Scientist
Seeking answers to environmental questions is one step you can take towards becoming a citizen scientist.
Ask your question here and a scientist from one of our EcoMyth Chicago participants will answer.
Although our 2009 theme is "Water in Chicago: How does it work and how does it affect me?",
we encourage any environmental questions you may have about our region.
Our expert may reply to you directly; or the answer to your question may be posted on our EMC
website on the "Ask a Scientist" page. Click here to ask a conservation question: science@ecomythschicago.org.
