Data is Not the Destination: Culture and Spirit in Citizen Science

Humboldt Bay Mycological Society's Virtual Mushroom Fair begins with this talk by Christian Schwarz, coauthor of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast. What are the roles of aesthetics, spirituality, and community in citizen science? How will scientists incorporate these experiences and motivations into a new paradigm of sustained, iterative knowledge-making? These topics will be discussed along with recommendations for some critical questions that need attention from citizen scientists. Join the Zoom webinar or livestream at https://youtu.be/qaNLHVgM-Mg.
