Michigan State University (MSU) Science Festival invites our community to participate in observing the world around us during the 2023 MSU Science Festival in the month of April. Let's work together to celebrate science, collect as many different observations as possible, and contribute to scientific research! With the iNaturalist app, you just take a picture of any living organism (animals, plants, fungi, insects, and more) and the community will help identify which species it is. You can participate by exploring the nature and wildlife near you or help us identify others observations.
