Presentation Notes
Other terms include public participation in scientific research (PPSR), crowd-sourced science, civic science, or networked science The use of both terms emphasizes that there are power dynamics at play with public participation in science. Some groups do not want to be seen as working FOR scientists, and prefer the term community science.

Presentation Notes
So, with that in mind, we hope that all of you in the audience will please take this survey, and help get the word to others at ANR! I’ve been conducting interviews with strategic initiative leaders, and others at ANR who have a broad view of different topical areas. The survey will help to fill out our growing list of examples of citizen science and community science underway at ANR, and help us understand different perceptions and experiences of folks across ANR.
