Trusted co-operations
Society as infrastructure. Win-Win. Experiment.
Can citizen science tools change your approach to scientific questions?
Can we find new perspectives from the widest range of nature/scale of collaborators?

Open laboratories for innovation source: cesar.unizar.es
Open issues for discussions
How to change mindsets from explotation to exploration? This is for all of us.
How to differentiate scientific dissemination of public engagement? Research
process with added value (not just publications)
How to move forward from concrete things (such as laboratories, museums or
libraries) to uncertain concepts? Let’s meet in the Labstract, action!
Mash up or remix? Both: Start dialogue, reverberation, then hybrids
Governance of such places? Top-down and bottom-up
What is the role of companies and private investors? Either all or none

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ECSITE pre-conference workshop, 2016
Just as the unique pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product, a short “DNA barcode” (about 600 nucleotides in length) is a unique pattern of DNA sequence that can potentially identify each species.
DNA Barcoding Programs
DNA Barcoding Programs: Our collaborators
873 student scientists in 322 teams
First research experience for most
>30% underrepresented minorities
193 mentors from 146 schools in 5 NYC Boroughs
>5,800 DNA samples
>9,900 DNA sequences and > 2,6 Million Next Gen Sequencing reads
125 novel barcodes published on GenBank
Urban Barcode Project, 2012-16 Student DNA barcoding in New York City
Publications with student authors or contributions

Featured in >130 media articles worldwide, including CNN, Proto Magazine and BBC The Forum podcast.
Challenges
• Space and funding- due to overwhelming response for both programs
• Evaluation
• Responsible communication about metabarcoding results
CITIZEN SCIENCE PLATFORMS & SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
Knowledge brokers, match makers, amplifiers

Citizen Science platforms and science communication: knowledge brokers, match makers, amplifiers
Example: The German Citizen Science Platform
Bürger schaffen Wissen
Citizens create Knowledge

Does citizen science has an added value? Which and for whom? What are the barriers for citizen science? What projects are around? How to increase networking and visibility?
