The aim of this study was to examine if citizen science contributes to gaining insight into community health and to the health of the citizen scientists themselves. Therefore, thirteen citizens in four deprived neighbourhoods were trained as citizen scientists to conduct research in their own communities. Results showed that the citizen scientists identified forty (health related) themes in their communities. The citizen scientists reported an increase in their overall self-perceived health which, however, was not significantly demonstrated in the prequestionnaire and postquestionnaire.

Article Synopsis
- Bilateral asymmetry, or differences between left and right sides, can arise from genetic, environmental, or random factors and is seen in various life forms, affecting traits like organ structure and behavior.
- There is a need to better understand how common and significant this asymmetry is in animal architecture, such as snail shells or bird nests.
- This study specifically investigates the left-right asymmetry in the nests of the rufous hornero bird using citizen science to explore potential evolutionary mechanisms, suggesting that genetics may play a role.
