About The Event
About the Event:
Despite being a relatively new research approach, citizen science is rapidly gaining popularity among millions of volunteers around the world. These 'citizen scientists' devote their spare time to helping professional researchers to collect and document information from all around us. From observations of the night sky to behaviours of animals, this information helps us to better understand our world and the Universe.
Nowadays, regular citizens can help tackle pressing environmental problems such as climate change, air pollution, ocean plastic, loss of biodiversity etc. by identifying, mapping and reporting major issues with often only their smartphones.
Join CEP Calgary for our monthly speaker series in February to learn how anyone, regardless of their background knowledge, can contribute to real academic research. And, who knows, maybe one day you could become a part of the next mind-blowing, life-altering scientific discovery!
