What is citizen science?
Citizen science allows for the general public to participate in research. You don't need to be a trained scientist to participate! If you have a love for or interest in science, you can be a part of citizen science by collecting data, analyzing results and helping solve real-world problems. There are both in person and online opportunities to participate in.
