Scientists have occasionally asked the public for ideas through social media when naming newly discovered animals or objects. These online campaigns allow people from around the world to participate in scientific discussions. Some naming contests have attracted hundreds of thousands of votes.

This makes science more interactive and interesting for the public. Social media has helped connect researchers with people who may never visit a laboratory. It proves that online communities can contribute to scientific discoveries in creative ways.
