(Generative) AI Meets Science Education: New Ways to Integrate
OnlineDe 15 Out até 15 Out, 2026
Generative AI tools have long been an integral part of many professional and personal spheres. In science education, AI is an engaging field of study that sparks curiosity among people of all ages and encourages them to explore it more deeply. At the same time, AI itself can be used as a teaching and design tool: large language models, image-generation tools, or other applications can be specifically employed to experiment with scientific content, open up new perspectives, and create creative approaches. AI demonstrates its potential where it supports processes, broadens perspectives, and itself becomes the subject of reflective, critical examination.
At the same time, important questions take center stage: How can digital security, data protection, copyright, and ethical aspects be considered thoughtfully and responsibly? In this professional development module, practical examples and approaches to reflection will be presented that demonstrate how generative AI can be meaningfully and responsibly integrated as both a topic and a tool in science communication in accordance with current standards.
Next-Gen Citizen Science: Showcasing Inclusive Wins, Empowering the Global South and Charting the Future of Environmental Data
COP17 in Armenia15:00
De 27 Out até 27 Out, 2026
As Parties take stock of progress on implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), a critical question remains: how can countries generate the volume, frequency and geographic coverage of biodiversity data needed to support implementation and reporting? Assessments of the KM-GBF Monitoring Framework indicate that around half of its 365 indicators could benefit from citizen involvement in data collection, while nearly one-third are well suited to citizen and community participation in both data collection and analysis. Yet citizen-generated data remains far from fully integrated into national monitoring systems, NBSAPs and national reports.
This side event will present a forward-looking vision of next-generation citizen science—not simply as volunteer biodiversity monitoring, but as an increasingly robust, inclusive and scalable component of the global biodiversity data ecosystem. Drawing on perspectives from global citizen science networks, research institutions, international organizations, Global South practitioners and civil society, the discussion will explore how citizen-generated data can strengthen implementation of the KM-GBF while broadening participation in biodiversity governance.

EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: Designing & Implementing Effective Participatory Science Projects
Online16:00
De 19 Ago até 19 Ago, 2026
This webinar will:
1) Introduce the building blocks to developing a participatory science project.
2) Share the Oklahoma Conservation Commission - Blue Thumb story.
3) Present the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality - Community Air Action Planning program.
4) Highlight collaboration approaches in Region 8 to test soil health using the soilSHOPs model.
Participatory science is the involvement of the public in science. It uses the collective strength and knowledge of the public to collect, analyze, and use data to answer environmental and public health questions. Projects answer wide-ranging questions, can engage the public in any or all steps of the scientific process, and operate using varying models ranging from community-led to institutionally driven. These efforts facilitate an increase in place-based connections, environmental stewardship, and human health and environmental protection.
Have you wondered about the steps needed to build a successful participatory science project? Are you curious to learn how to engage and collaborate with your local community to do science? This webinar will walk through common steps and processes to design and implement a participatory science project as well as water, air, and soil case studies from across the country. The presenters will walk through their planning process steps, discuss outcomes, and highlight lessons learned.

Is citizen science exploitative?
14:15
De 24 Set até 24 Set, 2025
September 2025 International PostDoc Forum for the Philosophy of Science - This program showcases virtual research presentations from international scholars with commentaries from local MCPS community members. The first speaker of our Autumn 2025 series is Rose Trappes, from the University of Bergen, Norway.
---
She will discuss "Is citizen science exploitative?" with commentary from Emilie Snell-Rood, part of the College of Biological Sciences, University of Minnesota.
---
Citizen science, or participatory science, uses the labour and expertise of volunteers to serve the needs and interests of professional scientists. Not infrequently, this involves siphoning valuable epistemic resources produced by these volunteers to scientists and databases in privileged institutions in the global north. Is citizen science therefore exploitative? And if it is, is this a problem? In this talk I consider these questions using resources from political philosophy, social epistemology, and philosophy of science, and drawing on cases of citizen science from ecology and meteorology.
Webinar Series: Teaching with EMERGE & GLOBE Mission Mosquito
OnlineDe 17 Set até 24 Set, 2025
This free two-part webinar is designed for educators who want to bring coding and citizen science to their learners.
The series bridges GLOBE Mission Mosquito—a NASA-supported program where students and community members collect environmental data—with EMERGE, a Florida-based but widely adaptable project that turns those data into insights about mosquito-borne disease risk.
Session 1 (Sept 17 at 6 PM ET): Introduction to EMERGE and GLOBE. You’ll learn how students can collect mosquito habitat and land cover data with the free GLOBE Observer app, then complete a guided coding assignment to visualize those observations on maps and explore connections with NASA satellite data. Very friendly environment for people who haven't coded before!
Session 2 (Sept 24 at 6 PM ET): We’ll regroup to review the coding assignment—troubleshoot issues, share sample outputs, and discuss strategies for adapting the lesson in classrooms, afterschool programs, and libraries.
