Exciting news!

Today (Tuesday), the White House is honoring Citizen Science Champions of
Change. I’d like to take the opportunity to extend congratulations to these
individuals.

*And to you.*

Citizen science could never have reached such a high level of attention
without the dedicated interest and work of each of us in this field. This
event recognizes individuals, yes - but beyond that it acknowledges the
hard-won merits of citizen science as an approach to research, education,
and community change.

This is worth celebrating!

For those receiving this message in time, the 8:30am EST event will be live
streamed at http://www.whitehouse.gov/live. More details (embargoed) are
expected to also be available on the blog from the Office of Science and
Technology Policy <http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp>,
organizers of this event.

Congratulations...

~~Jennifer
