#citsci — Public Fediverse posts

@pathunstrom i remember when citsci2017 made the difficult (from a logistics point of view) decision to move their conference due to discriminatory laws passed in NC. they were ahead of the curve (nearly a decade), given the situation today.

i applaud that decision then and submit it as inspiration to other conferences to hopefully make the right decision now.

📣 #DresdenConcept, #UNUFLORES und #SLUB laden zum ersten Dresden-weiten #CitizenScience-Workshop ein. Angesprochen sind in erster Linie Institutionen, die mit Bürgerwissenschaftler:innen zusammenarbeiten.

Im Workshop werden Erfahrungen ausgetauscht. Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit sich gemeinsam zu organisieren in Form von Arbeitsgruppe, Task Force oder Community of Practice.

"We need to maintain a good connection with Nature in order to enable the necessary societal transformations of the 21st century. Only then can humanity 'live in harmony with Nature by 2050' as ambitioned by our governments"
