We are excited to announce the return of our popular professional development opportunity: Public Participation in Digitization of Biodiversity Collections.
This free online course is focused on public participation in science as it relates to digitization and research using biodiversity specimens. Public participation in science is sometimes referred to as citizen science, community science, or crowdsourcing.
