Exhibit: "Citizen Science for the Common Good"

Exhibit: "Citizen Science for the Common Good" In-Person

Opening Reception: 
Sunday, March 1, 2026, 3-5 p.m.

What could we achieve is everyone participated in research? Explore the possibilities with Citizen Science!

Citizen Science spans a wide variety of subjects, research goals, volunteer tasks, and potential for discovery. From meeting a new galaxy named Steve to delving into the mystery of how mixing flour and water can create sourdough, there are opportunities for exploration all around us. When the whole community can engage with research, the scope of questions we can ask and answers we can find expands exponentially.  

This exhibit features several specific research projects, as well as several ongoing data collection projects. Some of the research projects are closed: they have answered their research question or the data have all been analyzed. Some of these projects are championed by the University Libraries.
