Citizen Science 101
Science is our most reliable system of gaining new knowledge and citizen science is the public involvement in inquiry and discovery of new scientific knowledge. Call it citizen science, "Amateur science," "crowdsourced science," “volunteer monitoring,” or "public participation in scientific research" citizen science is bigger and more varied than ever before! The fields that citizen science advances are diverse: ecology, astronomy, medicine, computer science, statistics, psychology, genetics, engineering and many more. The massive collaborations that can occur through citizen science allow investigations at continental and global scales and across decades—leading to discovery that a single scientist could never achieve on their own.
Spend the morning with us as we cover a wide range of citizen science opportunities in our region. You might just find your next hobby!
