Community Science: Reimagining knowledge production

A discussion led by Britta Voss and Jeff Warren… Many are familiar with the Citizen Science movement: people helping out on research projects — crowdsourced bird counts, water tests, protein folding.

In this talk, we’ll discuss the challenges and some of Public Lab’s work to scaffold a more collaborative form of knowledge production that addresses real-world problems and inequities. | HERE
