Citizen Science Comes of Age: Everyday People Doing Extraordinary Science

Citizen Science Comes of Age: Everyday People Doing Extraordinary Science | Rainforest CLASSROOM | Scoop.it
Defined as engagement of non-professionals in scientific investigation, citizen science involves volunteers asking questions, collecting data, or interpreting results. While people such as Thoreau, with his field observations at Walden Pond, have been doing citizen science for centuries, as a formal discipline this field is less than 45-years-old
The Morpho Institute's insight:

Proud that Amazon Rainforest Workshops gets to work with the great folks at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the California Academy of Sciences and others as we strive to incorporate citizen science into our field programs!
