Citizen Scientist
For the citizen scientist, this platform offers some networking
opportunities and the ability to share findings, information, and your story and experience.
In all cases, the citizen scientist should first be and act like a scientist. Fact-based
information that has been obtained using proper methods and good practices provides a solid
base for developing fact-based decisions and positive change. When you are doing any work,
please be a scientist first and if you then want to advocate your findings and observations,
your hypothesis will be on a more solid footing. Since there are a wide range of citizen science
efforts, we suggest the following resources and references:
