This announcement is posted on behalf of Jennifer Shirk (Citizen Science Association):
Citizen science is the involvement of the public in scientific research — whether community-driven research or global investigations. The Citizen Science Association (CSA) unites expertise from educators, scientists, data managers, and others to power citizen science. Join us, and help speed innovation by sharing insights across disciplines.
In 2019, we celebrate and explore the deep roots and broad branches that form the strong core of citizen science. Attendance and contributions are strongly encouraged from across the many disciplines where citizen science is advancing research.
Join us in the City of Oaks to connect with other leaders and learners from many backgrounds. We deepen our own work as we share our diverse perspectives and practices — no matter what we investigate or what we call our efforts. Bring your ideas and your questions to CitSci2019, and be a part of our growing family tree!
