Rawr – this March certainly came in like a lion! With a big late-winter storm leaving a path of snow, sleet and freezing rain across much of the country—including enough to shut down our offices here in Washington, DC yesterday—it’s starting to feel like spring is never going to arrive.
Please enjoy the latest in EPA science while we patiently wait for things to thaw out.
- Making Connections for Citizen Science
The Citizen Science Association recently hosted their inaugural conference where attendees shared new and inventive ways to actively involve individuals in quality scientific research. EPA’s Rachel McIntosh-Kastrinsky teaches sixth and seventh graders how to use low-cost environmental sensors. She presented her project at the conference.
Read about her experience in her Making Connections for Citizen Science blog post.
- EPA’s Scientific Integrity Annual Report
EPA works to ensure that every scientist and engineer who works for or in partnership with the Agency upholds the highest standards of scientific integrity. This week EPA released the Fiscal Year 2014 Scientific Integrity Annual Report. The report highlights accomplishments and identifies areas for improvement and action.
EPA’s Scientific Integrity Officer Francesca Grifo discusses the release in her message Our Commitment to Scientific Integrity at EPA.
And coming up next week…
- EnviroAtlas: Connecting people, ecosystems, and well-being
Interested in learning how to visualize and explore nature’s benefits, such as clean air and water, food, and opportunities for recreation? This webinar will introduce EnviroAtlas and provide an in-depth demonstration of the Interactive Map.
