Citizen Science is a way that everyone can make valuable contributions to research along with professional scientists. Zooniverse is the largest and most popular online platform for citizen science, where people of all ages and from all walks of life can contribute to projects in diverse fields of study. Many of these projects focus on environmental research, and are therefore of interest to everyone concerned with issues related to environmental justice.
If you missed CMGT’s first “Introduction to Citizen Science Workshop” in February 2020, please attend this event to learn more how we can contribute in finding solutions to our environmental issues.
