Phone
I am available to take temperature samples on July 20th from 3-4pm!*
Please confirm that you have a map app on your phone or watch where you can find your current coordinates.*

Having this ability is necessary to participate in the study.


Google maps, apple maps and most other general phone map apps have this ability by just holding down or tapping on your location on the map.

Will you be sampling on your own or with a partner?*

You do not have to have a partner with you in order to sample!


We are asking this because it's easier with a buddy and if we have extra volunteers interested in sampling in an area, we can pair solo volunteers together.

Please select as many areas you may be interested in.


We will try our best to assign volunteers with their preferred county(s)! We'll send you your sample location options as soon as possible.
