Citizen Science for Graduate Students
Thursday, January 21, 3pm Mountain Time // Online
The MSU Science Math Resource Center and SciStarter.org, an NSF-supported online hub of more than 3,000 citizen science projects, present this workshop designed specifically for MSU graduate students (but open to all!). A citizen science project is a collaboration between scientists and curious, motivated citizens who do everything from collect and share photos on clouds, birds or water; to analyze tweets to predict COVID outbreaks; or solve puzzles to design specialized RNA-based medicines and sensors.
No matter your field, this workshop will demonstrate how citizen science can be a valuable component of your academic and professional career, including:- Citizen science as part of your degree program
- Citizen science in grants, broader impacts and program management
- The relevance of citizen science for academic and non-academic careers
Speakers include - Dr. Caren Cooper*, North Carolina State University
- Bradley Allf, PhD student at NCSU who studies citizen science for his research
- Darlene Cavalier*, founder of SciStarter and Professor of Practice at Arizona State U
- Deron Ash, Director of Programs at ASU School for the Future of Innovation in Society
- Caroline Nickerson, SciStarter Program Manager
*Author of The Field Guide to Citizen Science: How You Can Contribute to Scientific Research and Make a Difference
Whether you want to create your own project, harness the data from another, or simply
share your own observations to help the scientific community, this workshop is for you!For more information and to register, visit: https://www.montana.edu/smrc/citizenscience.html
