Earth Science Week 2006
"Be a Citizen Scientist" is this year´s theme for Earth Science Week (ESW), an annual event sponsored by the American Geological Institute and its member organization.
Earth Science Week 2006
What does it mean to be a citizen scientist? It means getting involved! Real people collecting data, observing, and testing. You don't have to have a Ph.D. or even formal education in Earth science to be a citizen scientist, only an interest and desire to learn. A citizen scientist is YOU involved in real science and research! Find more ideas about how you and others can become scientifically literate citizens and get involved in Earth Science Week 2006 by visiting www.earthsciweek.org/.
