Citizen Science Training Day: Working with Citizen Scientists
This document summarizes a training day on citizen science. It discusses building community among volunteers by providing a job to do, data to analyze, and a discussion forum. It emphasizes moderating the forum to resolve conflicts and keep discussions civil. The document also addresses vulnerabilities volunteers may have and provides tips on improving inclusiveness through accommodations, praise, and addressing problems sensitively. Case studies demonstrate how to handle arguments in forums or lack of communication between volunteers and scientists. The key message is that volunteers should feel appreciated and have a place to discuss their work.

Citizen Science Phenotypes
Citizen science projects can be categorized in different ways based on levels of public participation and types of scientific tasks involved. Some key typologies include contributory vs collaborative vs co-created projects, and projects involving data collection, processing, and transcription tasks. The level of public participation and task complexity determine scalability, technology requirements, volunteer management needs, and implications for project design such as evaluating resources and goals, recognizing tradeoffs, and addressing constraints to determine the appropriate design.
Free as in Puppies: Compensating for ICT Constraints in Citizen Science
This document discusses how citizen science project organizers address issues related to participation and data quality when limited by resource constraints. It notes that while ideal information and communication technologies (ICT) could help with recruitment, retention, and data quality, free ICT options are often not sufficient due to lack of funding. The document presents three citizen science projects that have contrasting resource levels and explores how they creatively address these issues through alternative solutions like in-person outreach, paper data collection, and process optimization. It concludes by discussing implications for practice, policy, and CSCW research around leveraging complementary resources when full ICT capabilities are not possible.
Into the Night - Citizen Science Training day - introduction to citizen science
This document provides an introduction to environmental citizen science projects. It discusses different types of citizen science, including contributory projects where the public contributes data designed by scientists, collaborative projects where the public helps design the project, and co-created projects designed by scientists and the public together. The document outlines considerations for setting up a citizen science project, such as balancing goals of increasing awareness, collecting data, and education. It also discusses recruiting and retaining participants, as well as evaluating projects for their scientific and societal impacts.
Citizen science
This document discusses citizen science and distributed computation. It provides examples of citizen science projects that involve volunteers collecting and reporting environmental data to help scientists study changes over broad areas and long periods. These projects employ distributed systems to facilitate communication between scientists and volunteers and to share and analyze the collected data. The document emphasizes that citizen science can further scientific understanding while also promoting science literacy among the public.
Haw GIScience lost its interdisciplinary mojo?
These are the slides from my talk at the GISCience 2016 conference. There is more information on my blog, but the abstract is:
Over the past 25 years, I have experienced an inside track view of two interdisciplinary research fields: Geographical Information Science (GIScience) and Citizen Science. Over that period, I was also involved in about 20 multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary projects. As a result, I also found myself evaluating and funding x-disciplinary projects.
On the basis of these experiences, I’d argue that Interdisciplinarity is always hard, risky, require compromises, accommodations, listening, and making mistakes. The excitement from the outputs and outcomes does not always justify the price. Frequently, there is no-follow on project – it’s been too exhausting.
Considering the project level challenges, viewing interdisciplinary areas of studies emerging is especially interesting. You can notice how concepts are being argued and agreed on. You can see what is inside and what is outside, and where the boundary is drawn. You can see how methodologies, jargon, acceptable behaviour, and modes of operations get accepted or rejected – and from the inside, you can nudge the field and sometimes see the impact of your actions.
GIScience was born as an interdisciplinary field of study, and the period of consolidation that I have seen was supposed to lead to stability and growth. This did not happen. Take any measure that you like: size of conferences, papers – or even the argument if the field deserve a Wikipedia page. Something didn’t work.
In contrast, Citizen Science is already attracting to its conferences audience in the many hundreds – the Citizen Science Association include 4000 (free) members, The European Citizen Science Association 180 (paid) – and that is in the first 2 years since they’ve established.
In the talk, I explore the way in which interdisciplinary projects and fields work, highlight the similarities and differences, and suggest the issues that have led to the outcomes that we see today

AAG 2015 - COST Energic, VGI, Citizen Science and OpenStreetMap
The talk will cover the concepts behing COST Action IC1203 - a European Network Exploring Research into Geospatial Information Crowdsourcing: software and methodologies for harnessing geographic information from the crowd (ENERGIC). The network emerged from the realisation that new and unprecedented sources of geographic information have recently become available in the form of user-generated Web content. The integration and application of these sources, often termed volunteered geographic information (VGI), offers multidisciplinary scientists an unprecedented opportunity to conduct research on a variety of topics at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The Action targets fundamental scientific and technological advances by establishing a European network of excellence on Geoweb technologies. The Action focus on VGI and gather efforts carried out in an innovative and under-exploited field of Web research and knowledge production.
In the talk special attention will be paid to the differences between OSM, VGI and Citizen Science, and suggesting 'code of engagement' with OpenStreetMap that are relevant to many other volunteering projects
The role of learning in citizen science
This is a presentation from the citizen science impact event at the Open University http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/opentel/citizen-science-impact-event-at-the-open-university/
Citizen science offer different levels of engagement to participants, which have been captured in typologies of the field (contributory, collaborative, co-created, collegial / crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, extreme citizen science). These typologies do no explicitly examine learning. At the same time, projects and activities striving to fulfil multiple goals (excellent scientific output, satisfying engagement, good recruitment, learning …). Within ythe range of citizen science project, we can consider different aspects of learning that are occurring in them, Projects and use examples from a range of project, and raise some aspects that can help those who are designing co-created projects.

Data Responsibly: The next decade of data science
This document discusses the responsible use of data science techniques and technologies. It describes data science as answering questions using large, noisy, and heterogeneous datasets that were collected for unrelated purposes. It raises concerns about the irresponsible use of data science, such as algorithms amplifying biases in data. The work of the DataLab group at the University of Washington is presented, which aims to address these issues by developing techniques to balance predictive accuracy with fairness, increase data sharing while protecting privacy, and ensure transparency in datasets and methods.
Citizen science - theory, practice & policy workshop
The document provides an overview of a presentation on citizen science, including:
- A history of citizen science from early informal involvement to the modern era facilitated by increased education, technology, and societal trends.
- Examples of different types of citizen science including passive sensing, volunteer computing/thinking, long-running projects in ecology/astronomy, DIY and community science, and participatory sensing.
- Guidance on designing citizen science projects including considerations for participant engagement, learning outcomes, and project structure based on participant skills and abilities.
- An agenda for the presentation covering these topics as well as hands-on data collection, implications for project design, and policy aspects of citizen science.
Overview of Citizen Science - Zurich November 2015
Citizen science has grown significantly due to societal and technological trends. Increased education levels, leisure time, and sharing economies have empowered more people to engage in scientific work. Advances like broadband internet, mobile devices, and DIY electronics have also facilitated participation. Current citizen science involves collaborative problem definition and data collection between citizens and scientists. Government agencies and policies are increasingly recognizing the value of citizen science data. Further development is still needed regarding sustainable funding models, data standards, and expanding citizen science to new domains.
Examining the values that are embedded in the processes and technologies of p...
A persistent question about participatory methodologies that rely on technologies, such as public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), is how to integrate values, such as inclusiveness of all the people that are impacted by a decision, or identifying options that are popular by the majority but acceptable to the minority, within technologically focused projects. Moreover, technologies do not operate by themselves – they are embedded in organizational, political, and social processes that set how they are used, who can use them, and in what context. Therefore, we should explore where the values reside?
Two factors obscure our view: The misleading conceptualisation that technologies are value free, and can be used for good or for bad – which put all the weight on the process, and ignores the way in which any technology allow only certain actions to be taken. Another popular view of technology conceptualisation is to emphasise their advantages (upside) and ignore their limitations. If we move beyond these, and other “common sense” views of technologies, we can notice how process and technology intertwine.
We can therefore look at the way the process/technology reinforce and limit each other, and the way that the values are integrated and influence them. With this analysis, we can also consider how technological development can explicitly include considerations of values, and be philosophically, politically, and social-theory informed. We need to consider the roles, skills, and knowledge of the people that are involved in each part of the process – from community facilitation to software development.
The paper will draw on the experience of developing participatory geographic information technologies over the past 20 years, and will suggest future directions for values-based participatory technology development.

The first half looks at the history of citizen science and highlights the education transition that happened while citizen science evolved , while the second half explains what is extreme citizen science and the roles of the technological tools that have been developed within the ExCiteS group, with an open invitation for others to join the effort.
Into the Night - Technology for citizen science
Current citizen science seems effortless...just download an app and start using it. However, there are many technical aspects that are necessary to make a citizen science project work. In this session, we will provide an overview of all the technical elements that are required - from the process of designing an app., to designing and managing a back-end system, to testing the system end to end before deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider the design of an app for a citizen science project that addresses light pollution.

histoGraph was developed as part of the EU-funded CUbRIK project to create an interface for accessing historical sources and discovering links between entities. It builds a social graph of people in photos of European integration history by having humans and AI work together to identify faces, which are then linked based on co-occurrence. Users can interact with the graph to explore connections between individuals and supporting documents. The system represents the complexity of truth in the humanities by allowing multiple answers to identity questions and facilitating discussion between experts.
Citizen enhanced open science in the cultural heritage sector
This document summarizes 8 citizen science initiatives in Belgium that contribute to open science and cultural heritage. The initiatives engage citizens in activities like crowdsourcing annotations, sharing migration stories, and documenting street art. They aim to move beyond just having citizens collect data by involving them throughout the research process. The initiatives vary in their openness, with some openly sharing datasets, metadata, and results while others are less transparent. Overall they demonstrate how citizen science can enhance open science and cultural heritage but more work is still needed to formalize open data standards and ensure projects follow core open science principles.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

https://www.etran.rs/2024/en/home-english/Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.
