Community & Citizen Science offers the chance for non-professionals to contribute to scientific research, and it's changing how we do science across the globe.
Citizen and Community Science (CCS) volunteers are:
Monitoring wildlife in parks and neighborhoods,
Uncovering water and air quality concerns
Responding after disasters or extreme weather events
Tracking invasive species, diseases or even viruses!
In addition to valuable data for science, involvement with hands-on research can improve learning gains, change behavior and lead to critical environmental impacts
Available CEU credits: 8 hours TEA CPE & TEEAC credit, if applicable.
