Is citizen science exploitative?
14:15
De 24 Set até 24 Set, 2025
September 2025 International PostDoc Forum for the Philosophy of Science - This program showcases virtual research presentations from international scholars with commentaries from local MCPS community members. The first speaker of our Autumn 2025 series is Rose Trappes, from the University of Bergen, Norway.
---
She will discuss "Is citizen science exploitative?" with commentary from Emilie Snell-Rood, part of the College of Biological Sciences, University of Minnesota.
---
Citizen science, or participatory science, uses the labour and expertise of volunteers to serve the needs and interests of professional scientists. Not infrequently, this involves siphoning valuable epistemic resources produced by these volunteers to scientists and databases in privileged institutions in the global north. Is citizen science therefore exploitative? And if it is, is this a problem? In this talk I consider these questions using resources from political philosophy, social epistemology, and philosophy of science, and drawing on cases of citizen science from ecology and meteorology.
Webinar Series: Teaching with EMERGE & GLOBE Mission Mosquito
OnlineDe 17 Set até 24 Set, 2025
This free two-part webinar is designed for educators who want to bring coding and citizen science to their learners.
The series bridges GLOBE Mission Mosquito—a NASA-supported program where students and community members collect environmental data—with EMERGE, a Florida-based but widely adaptable project that turns those data into insights about mosquito-borne disease risk.
Session 1 (Sept 17 at 6 PM ET): Introduction to EMERGE and GLOBE. You’ll learn how students can collect mosquito habitat and land cover data with the free GLOBE Observer app, then complete a guided coding assignment to visualize those observations on maps and explore connections with NASA satellite data. Very friendly environment for people who haven't coded before!
Session 2 (Sept 24 at 6 PM ET): We’ll regroup to review the coding assignment—troubleshoot issues, share sample outputs, and discuss strategies for adapting the lesson in classrooms, afterschool programs, and libraries.

Birds Georgia at Manuel's Tavern: From Citizen Science to Data Activism with Ashley Boone
Atlanta, USADe 24 Ago até 24 Ago, 2025
Free to attend but registration is requested at the link below
Community and citizen science initiatives generate vast amounts of data with the potential to inform scientific research, environmental management, and policy decisions. Yet, the pathway from data collection to concrete civic action is often fragmented or unclear. In this presentation, we will examine how grassroots data efforts such as monitoring bird-building collisions or tracking biodiversity loss can be strategically leveraged to support advocacy, shape local policies, and promote environmental justice. Drawing on case studies from Atlanta-based citizen science projects, we’ll discuss challenges and opportunities for transforming community-generated data into a catalyst for meaningful, place-based change.
About Ashley: Ashley Boone is a PhD student in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech, where her research focuses on how community-based organizations and nonprofits use data as a tool for advocacy and environmental action. Her work sits at the intersection of data science, civic engagement, and environmental stewardship, with a particular interest in community science projects that advance both public participation and policy impact. Ashley has collaborated with several citizen science initiatives in Atlanta, including Project Safe Flight, which works to reduce bird-building collisions through data collection and advocacy.

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
