What Exactly is Citizen Science?

I’ve mentioned it a couple of times in some of my posts, participating in a citizen science program at-home.  I also wrote about central Maine’s lack-of citizen science and environmental activism programs.  I even started a new blog recently, called Green in Central Maine–hoping to create more opportunity for citizen science where I live.

But what exactly is citizen science?  How did it first start? Can anyone do it? How can I get involved?

Read more about citizen science with this article I wrote for Helium: What is Citizen Science?
