About the session
Lightning Talks Session 3
Lightning talks will take place in the Ludlow Suite. Presenters will give a brief overview of a topic and delegates will have an opportunity to find out more in smaller informal follow-up groups/poster sessions in the Exhibit Hall.
There are two major concerns for scientists: the Nature and the Society. All involved make fundamental and applied efforts to discover knowledge and to build meaning on it. Scholars search for sustainable progress; beings are rubbing shoulders on planet Earth. We all need data and collective intelligence that is orders of magnitude larger than what scientists could do alone. The underuse of citizen science is a missed opportunity for science and society. Take part in a cultural change and bring Science and Society together by developing research support services for citizen science.
