Return to Citizen Science 2015 Conference

Citizen Science 2015 was a pre-conference of the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which immediately followed our meeting at the San Jose Convention Center. The AAAS theme for 2015 was “Innovations, Information, and Imaging.”
