How to contribute to science/research on the side?


I'm a big fan of science and research, but I'm aware of the challenges in academia, such as financial compensation, so I would never consider making it my career.

As a software engineer who wants to keep my day job, what are some options for helping fellow scientists and researchers in fields like physics, chemistry, and neuroscience after work?

If you know the people you want to help to - help them, it is obvious but at least this is what I do.

If you don't know the right people and if you are not into the research - probably your efforts will not achieve the result you expect because there are plenty of not very useful researchers who do not even want to become useful.
