"Citizen Science, You, and Your Device!" - The Influential Parent Podcast ep. 17


 Are you looking for a way to use your (& your child's) device to CONTRIBUTE to the internet, not just consume content? (And no, we won't be telling you to make a TikTok video!) Dr. Ed Emmer, our local Science Superhero, joins us this week as we talk about Citizen Science and ways for you and your family to use your devices to contribute to scientific endeavors around the globe... from where ever you happen to be!

You can reach Dr. Emmer by email at: eemmer@richland2.org
