  1. #Webinar - #Marsh and #Stream Explorers: A Treasure Hunt to Find Healthy Freshwater #Habitats in #Maine

    Apr 22 2026
    7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Curious about what critters live in your local streams and freshwater marshes? Come learn about Maine Marsh and Stream Explorers, a collaborative #CommunityScience project between #MaineAudubon and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MEDEP). This program trains volunteers to survey for #macroinvertebrates, or large #AquaticInsects, in streams and freshwater #marshes statewide. With many macroinvertebrates sensitive to temperature, #pollutants, and other environmental stressors, their presence or absence serve as an important indicator of overall wetland health. This data then becomes an invaluable screening tool for #MaineDEP to prioritize where more-indepth water quality assessments should be conducted.

    "In this webinar you’ll learn about what the Marsh and Stream Explorers project has accomplished and its impact on water quality monitoring statewide. We’ll look at our overall results, share our successes, and talk about future goals of the project. If you’re interested in getting outdoors, learning something new, and protecting your local watershed, this community science project is for you! Come learn more about how you can get involved. In-person field training for survey techniques to follow."

  11. Students from Wheaton Montesorri stepped behind the scenes at the museum—not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this trip showed that science isn’t limited to labs or experts—it’s something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #MuseumLearning #ScienceForAll #communityscience, #scistarter, #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn, #fieldmuseum

  12. Faster scientific discovery-With large datasets available digitally, researchers can use tools like AI and data modeling to discover new patterns, relationships, and even identify new species more efficiently. Participate in a virtual event: scistarter.org/citizensciencem

  21. 🧠 How Hackathons Build Better #ClimateResearch Communities – A New #PolicyBrief

    Our final #nextGEMS Policy Brief is here—and it brings a fresh perspective: “Building User Communities around Next-Generation Earth System Models.”

    While our first brief focused on bridging science and society, this one looks inward: How do we design research projects that foster #collaboration, creativity, and real-world #impact 

    Drawing on experiences from the series of nextGEMS #hackathons, the brief shows how these spaces:

    - Enable peer learning across disciplines and expertise levels
    - Spark new scientific collaborations and networks
    - Offer #CoCreation formats that build trust and shared ownership of climate model development

    🏛️ Aimed at the EU’s research and innovation community—especially those who design, fund, or manage large projects—this brief offers practical recommendations:

    - Embed collaborative events into project design
    - Create intentional structures that support long-term #community-building
    - Focus on the societal relevance of scientific outputs from day one

    These insights go beyond nextGEMS: they speak to the future of climate research itself.

    📥 Read and download both briefs from the media library now.

  28. A new paper in #NatureSustainability , led by @dilekfraisl.bsky.social and other colleagues at @iiasa.ac.at, on Leveraging the collaborative power of AI and citizen science for sustainable development nature.com/articles/s41893-024 #AI #ArtificialInteligence #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #SDG #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

  29. A new paper with Artemis Skarlatidou - sciencedirect.com/science/arti How can bottom-up citizen science restore public trust in environmental governance and sciences? Recommendations from three case studies. #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #Trust #Environment #Coproduction

    • Citizen Science has the potential to restore epistemic trust.

    • We identify key cognitive and affective trustee attributes to improve trust through CS.

    • If these are ignored CS will erode public trust further.
