Mark your calendars for our next PNW Chapter gathering! The topic is "Citizen Science," and we have two speakers: Veronica Kenney will discuss her work in the Marshall Islands, and Jackie Selbitschka will focus on coral reefs. Both will stress how ordinary folk with an avid interest but little professional training can still contribute to serious advances in science. The Explorers Club, a hundred years ago, recognized that as an obvious truth hardly worth comment. More recently, the "amateur naturalist" label has fallen a bit out of favor. These two talks will remind you we should keep that historical thread.
