ABSTRACT
The participation of the general public in the collection and analysis of data for scientific research purposes has increased in popularity and become more feasible with recent advancements in technology. We have divided the average citizen science project into 3 different stages: volunteer involvement, data collection, and community data analysis. During this 3-part panel discussion, we seek to provide the audience with advice on directing citizen science projects from experts with experience facilitating community engagement in scientific pursuits.
9 am - Volunteer Involvement - Mike Kautz, Adventurers & Scientists for Conservation
10 am - Data Collection - Nolan Doesken, Colorado State University
