Caren Cooper’s new book: Citizen Science

Caren Cooper, one of our exciting keynote speakers for #CitSciOz18, has a new book out "Citizen Science: How Ordinary People are Changing the Face of Discovery". Released in the USA about a year ago, it is now available in the UK, and ACSA is excited to have been sent three free copies from the London publisher...which we will be offering as conference prizes! Professor Muki Haklay, University College London, has written a blog post reviewing the book, which you can read here. Have you read the book? Let us know your thoughts! We look forward to hearing more from Caren at #CitSciOz18 in February 2018.
