They may not have research degrees or formal qualifications,but there are millions of people globally putting their hands up to and participating in Citizen Science projects. Community science puts ordinary citizens front and center in often groundbreaking research, with amazing results.  In this episode host Prof Andy Lowe has a delightful conversation with Dr Erinn Fagen-Jeffries https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/erinn.fagan-jeffries and Prof Frank Grützner https://researchers.adelaide.edu.au/profile/frank.grutzner about the lessons learned in the evolution of Citizen Science projects, echidna poo, and a new insect named ‘Oreo’.
