Experiences of ‘citizen science’, Pushing the boundaries: Exploring ‘citizen science’ and community participation across research (2023)
Report
Institute for Community Studies, Sardo, M., Williams, B., Bell, A., Whyte, S., Oveson, M., & Clayton, A. (2023). Experiences of ‘citizen science’, Pushing the boundaries: Exploring ‘citizen science’ and community participation across research

This is the first in a series of short discussion papers, sharing learnings and reflections from the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)-funded Citizen Science Collaboration Grants (CSCG). It focuses on the experience of doing ‘citizen science’.1 This...

Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research (2023)
Journal Article
Williams, B., De Vito, L., Margarida Sardo, A., Pringle, K., Hansen, M., Taylor, M., …Hayes, E. (2023). Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research. Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 1(e11), 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1017/plc.2023.11

Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textil...
