Call for abstracts and scholarship applications, deadline extended to May

Conference on Public Participation in Scientific Research 
August 4th and 5th, 2012 in Portland, Oregon
 
$30 with registration for ESA meeting, $95 for this event only 
 
Citizen science. Volunteer monitoring. Community-based research. Crowd 
science. These are all forms of public participation in scientific 
research (PPSR) proliferating across astronomy, molecular biology, human 
and environmental health, ecology, and other disciplines. This conference, 
to be held in conjunction with the Ecological Society of America's annual 
meeting, will offer a forum for sharing insights across projects and 
fields of study and for discussing how to advance the field of PPSR 
itself. If you are invested in the future of this field, you should not 
missthis event!
 
We encourage researchers, project leaders, educators, technology 
specialists, evaluators, and others to submit abstracts in order to share 
work with a wide range of colleagues at this event. If financial 
considerations are a barrier to attendance, apply for a scholarship. Due 
to popular demand deadlines for both have been extended to May 15.
 
To promote exchange of ideas the primary mode of presentations for this 
event will be posters. Join colleagues across this broad field and submit 
an abstract to highlight your work and be a part of the conversation. Note 
that submitting an abstract to the PPSR Conference DOES NOT count against 
ESA's presentation limit.
 
A fantastic line-up of speakers, including Seth Cooper (FoldIt), Terry 
Root (Nobel Laureate, IPCC), Arfon Smith (Zooniverse), and Wallace J 
Nichols (Ocean Revolution), will provide context and stimulate 
conversations about the state of the field and where it is headed. The 
conference will culminate in an open meeting to explore strategies for 
large-scale collaborations to support and advance work across this field 
of practice, potentially through the development of an association.
 
May 15, 2012 deadline for abstracts and scholarship applications
June 14, 2012 deadline for ESA early bird registration rates
 
We look forward to seeing you in Portland!
