An Introduction to the Open Science Data Repository’s Analysis Working Groups: "Open Science for Life in Space"
Listen and learn about space biology, the impressive accomplishments and ambitious goals of these working groups, and a model of citizen science that centers not on a single research question, but on a scientific resource.
Dr. Andrew Westphal, Stardust@home - What I learned at the bleeding edge of NASA citizen science
Stardust@home was one of the first NASA research projects to engage citizens in space discovery. Through six project phases, Stardust@home has engaged thousands of “Dusters” and found precious interstellar particles. Dr. Westphal reflects on the first 14 years of the project and looks ahead to the future of collaborative interstellar particle research.

Dr. Julia Parrish - Does Knowing the People Make the Science Better?
Dr. Parrish shares insights gleaned from a decades-long citizen science project, including the merits of training and practice, proven strategies for engaging and retaining volunteers, and the essential value of getting to know project volunteers.
Welcome to NASA's Summer of Citizen Science Web Series
Dr. Raj Pandya directs AGU’s Thriving Earth Exchange, which connects scientists and communities to enable collaborative efforts to design and lead science to addresses community priorities. In this keynote Dr. Pandya shares his vision for how the sciences can be more engaging, how inclusivity contributes to scientific innovation and societal relevance, and how the sciences can be allies in advancing equity in society.
