Be the Change: Saving the World with Citizen Science

November 12, 2013 By Chandra Clarke Leave a Comment

As long time followers of this blog know, science is one of my passions. So much so, that I’ve been involved in a movement called citizen science. What’s citizen science you say? Well, I wrote this book… Be the Change: Saving the World with Citizen Science.

This book talks about some really cool stuff, where ordinary people like you and me get to do real, honest-to-goodness, help-answer-the-big-questions science. This is a world in which it is possible to go on a wildlife survey in a national park, install software on your computer to search for a cure for cancer, have your smartphone log the sound pollution in your city, transcribe ancient Greek scrolls, or sift through the dirt from a site where a mastodon died 11,000 years ago—even if you never finished high school.

Why am I into this stuff? Well, apart from the fact that it’s fun, I think that it is important in this high-tech era that people understand (and not fear!) science and technology. That’s why I write my other blog, Citizen Science Center.

Available now at Amazon.com, the book has project listings and exclusive content you won’t find here at the site… so even if you’re a regular here, you’ll want to grab a copy to learn about new opportunities to participate.

And if you’re a huge citizen science fan who would love to see more people involved, it would be great if you would help me get the word out. Here’s how you can help:

Tweet about the book: Click this link

Copy this link and paste into your Facebook status and let your friends know: http://www.citizensciencecenter.com/get-the-book/

Forward that same link via email to your network: http://www.citizensciencecenter.com/get-the-book/

Leave an honest review at the Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GJCG62E

Let your favourite science personality know about it! Or if you have a connection to someone who should receive a review copy, please let me know: chandraclarke@gmail.com.

It would mean a LOT to me if you did any or all of those things — thank you so, so much!
