Report: Learning from Public Participation in Scientific Research programs in Northern California
Preliminary Findings from the Northern California PPSR Inventory Study
Introduction
This project arose from the realization that projects involving public participation in science vary widely, and often work in isolation from each other. These range from ‘citizen science’ projects for which people submit data about birds or plants online, to environmental justice-oriented community-based participatory research, and everything in between. These projects all revolve around members of the public collaborating in some form with scientists to answer environmental science questions.
