As a research hub and an incredibly diverse ecological treasure, San Diego is home to many citizen science projects and programs. The San Diego Citizen Science Expo is an event to encourage San Diegans to explore the diverse research projects that need public support. Explore the science happening in San Diego and find out how you can contribute to science doing things you already enjoy!
The San Diego Citizen Science Expo will be held on Citizen Science Day: April 14th, 2018. The list of participating projects is now available! See it below. Looking at this list, you can expect 2018 to be a great year to do science on your computer, while you surf or hike, or even in your own back yard!
