01.01.2022 Meet Stuart! You might remember him as the citizen scientist who found a new species of peacock spider, Maratus harrisi, a few years back. Today he gave a #CitSciOzOnline Lightning Talk for Early and Mid Career Researchers about his acronym for citizen science:... P - Purpose A - Access (to locations, labs, cool people) I - Information (e.g. citizen scientists need access to scientific papers) R - Resources (e.g. accommodation, transport, equipment, feedback) Stuart's PAIR acronym has taken off at our online conference with lots of social media conversations.
