Citizen Scientists: the willing and able who are helping drive research forward
They may not have research degrees or formal qualifications, but there are millions of people globally putting their hands up to and participating in Citizen Science projects. Community science puts ordinary citizens front and center in often groundbreaking research, with amazing results. In this episode host Prof Andy Lowe has a delightful conversation with Dr Erinn Fagan-Jeffries and Professor Frank Grützner about the lessons learned in the evolution of Citizen Science projects, echidna poo, and a new insect named ‘Oreo’.
