Artificial Intelligence in Science Communication – Quality Texts at the Push of a Button?
Online09:00
De 18 Jun até 18 Jun, 2025
The second module focuses on generative AI tools for text creation, information analysis, and content presentation. How can these tools make work easier? And how can scientific accuracy and quality be ensured at the same time? Together with the participants, this module will explore how generative AI can be used effectively to support the writing and creation process – without losing sight of the added value of science communication.
Training Series for Young Science and Citizen Science contact persons
The three modules of the training series explore how AI tools are transforming and supporting science communication, the opportunities they create, and the challenges that must be considered. While the events are primarily aimed at the network of contact persons, all interested parties are warmly invited to participate.

Web Analytics 101 for Citizen Science Project Teams
Online14:00
De 27 Mar até 27 Mar, 2025
Web analytics is the process of collecting and analyzing data to reveal visitor traffic and engagement patterns on webpages. These tools and the insights they reveal can be invaluable for diagnosing issues and improving operations of citizen science projects. But what tools are available, and how does a busy citizen science team make best use of them?
This event will introduce some of the free web analytics tools and how to use them to assess and improve citizen science project operations.
First, we will hear from members of the NASA Office of Communications. They will ground our conversation in a discussion of key performance indicators - both what they are and the metrics you can use to track them. Both ideal cases and realistic scenarios will be addressed. Next, Cliff Johnson from the Zooniverse platform will share the data that Zooniverse can provide to projects hosted there. Finally, we will hear from SciStarter and the tools and dashboards they provide to assist affiliated projects in better understanding patterns of users and use.
As always, we will save time for your questions.
Event speakers will include:
Janel Kasper-Wolfe, Research and Analytics Lead for the NASA Office of Communications
Leslie Linares López, Communication Strategist and Metrics Lead, NASA Office of Communications
Rebecca Walker Benjamin, Communications Strategist, NASA Office of Communications
Cliff Johnson, Co-Director, Science Lead, and NASA Liaison for the Zooniverse Platform, Astronomer at Northwestern University and the Adler Planetarium
Darlene Cavalier, founder of SciStarter and Professor of Practice at the Arizona State University School for the Future of Innovation in Society
