From Antony:
Sandra and Tara…I’m looking forward to working with you on this presentation. Yesterday I gave a presentation to a group of students at Drexel University regarding Citizen Chemists and Chemistry. unfortunately it’s quite long but you might find it interesting to review regarding the relationship with this presentation we will give: http://www.scivee.tv/node/14770.
From Tara:
I am looking forward to meeting you both, too! Citizen science has long been an interest of mine, especially with my career in PK-12 education. Web 2.0 has really opened up a lot of possibilities in this area (both good and not so good). Should be a great discussion. —-Tara
