Description:

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!
