Community members around the Conodoguinet Creek watershed in PA were worried about PFAS and other contaminants. They partnered with AGU and scientists to map data, gather community input, and educate. Read about their experiences: thrivingearthexchange.org/blog/a-long-...

My colleague on our DEI team is always saying how wonderful your trainings are and I'm like, "I know her!" 😄

So excited to see old friends and colleagues (and new ones!) on here now. Hi!

This talk is fantastic!

I guess this app doesn't have GIF support yet...so you'll have to be happy with a list of GT Cryo talks at AGU this year as Taylor Swift lyrics:

Workshop attendees sit on white couches as they talk about citizen and community science case studies

The best part of workshops are the conversations! #AGU23

Up early to prep for our #AGU23 Citizen and Community Science workshop this morning! Excited to help people develop action plans! If you can't make it but want a copy of our slides & suggested readings ping me ☺️

Increasingly, my bluesky following list is just the membership roster of AGU & AAA with a few random political or funny accounts thrown in the mix. And I'm OK with that.

MORNING EVERYONE

“One of the benefits of Twitter was how it created a sense of community for scientists, particularly for those from under-represented groups.”

Those exact accounts just followed me! Glad to know I was right to be suspicious.

90% of my blue sky activity so far has just been finding scientists, scicommers, science journalists etc to follow

Either you start w/ a small group, let users define you & co-develop organically or you spend tons on developing a slick product that is truly ready to go. Threads did neither

But now I have to make a bunch of slides 😔
BUT the conference is still months away so still time for 🧪 procrastination
