DESCRIPTION:Not an expert? "Know" problem! You can still meaningfully cont
 ribute to science. .\nhttps://dpl.libnet.info/event/14468849
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>&lsquo\;No' matter what your background\, 
 education\, or qualifications\, learn how to join professional research te
 ams engaged in answering real\, and often critical\, science questions. Co
 mmunity science is public participation in scientific research. Everyone\,
  regardless of qualifications\, can meaningfully contribute to increase sc
 ientific knowledge with real world impacts. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Everyday commu
 nity members can help gather data\, make observations\, assist professiona
 ls\, and even generate new questions and theories for a huge array of diff
 erent local and national scientific projects on a wide range of topics. A 
 vast choice of research subjects can include the ongoing mysteries of our 
 present world\, such as wildlife data collection and observation\, or disc
 overing lost histories of the past.</p>\n<p>For some projects\, you don&rs
 quo\;t have to leave your home or backyard\, but if seeking more time in n
 ature is part of your inspiration\, there are numerous outdoor studies in 
 places near and far\, such as local parks and remote wild places.</p>\n<p>
 Just bring your excitement and curiosity to join us for an introduction on
  becoming a community scientist. Leave with ideas\, tools\, and the confid
 ence to find a community science project that brings you enjoyment and con
 nection while you make a positive contribution. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p><span styl
