San Diego Citizen Science Day Expo—update

Planning for our little expo is going well. Over half a dozen citizen science groups have agreed to showcase their work at the event. If you would like to be more involved in San Diego-based citizen science, please come and see all the different ways you can participate. We could also use some help with staffing the event, so if willing to spend an hour or two of your time with us in person on Saturday, April 16th (between 10am and 2pm). Let us know! You won’t have to answer any questions about whether or not SCF is a genes concept or anything like that (I promise!)

More about the event can be found in this post.
