Allie Brown joins Capital Chat from Coasst at the University of Washington to discuss the upcoming training to become a citizen scientist in Juneau to monitor sic, injured or dead birds along our coastline. What is citizen science?While citizen science has been used as an umbrella term for any public involvement in science, it can be distinguished from other terms based on how the project is initiated and run. For example:– Citizen science is a process where members of the general public aid in scientific research, typically by collecting data for projects designed and initiated by professional scientists. This teamwork allows scientists to gather far more data than they could alone.– Community science is initiated and managed by community members to address local needs, often related to social or environmental justice.We recognize that the term citizen can hold legal or exclusionary connotations, however, in this context it truly refers to citizens of the world and reiterates that science is for everyone.COASST accepts everyone interested in collecting data using our protocols.Learn more about participating with COASST
