TPR Think Science: Citizen Science

TPR invites you to learn more about Citizen Science at Think Science, TPR's lunch and learn series, on Friday, February 20th, at noon.

Citizen Science involves the general public in the collection of scientific data. This crowd-sourced science includes the use of online gamers to analyze protein structures, asking people to view online photos to identify penguins and encouraging people to plant sunflowers to draw in bees.

Join us to learn more about Citizen Science and about local opportunities to participate.
