Becoming a Community Scientist

Join Steve McGaffin from Zoo Knoxville and Audrey Parker from Knox County School to learn about becoming a scientist in your community! Throughout the evening, you'll learn about various community science opportunities on both local and personal levels, and walk away with the tools to start amazing projects of your own. The evening will focus on iNaturalist, NestWatch, eBird, and more local/global opportunities.
