Citizen science to improve patient and public involvement in GUideline Implementation in oral health and DEntistry (the GUIDE platform). Health Expectations, 27(1), Article e13921. https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.13921

Background: Citizen science is a way to democratise science by involving groups of citizens in the research process. Clinical guidelines are used to improve practice, but their implementation can be limited. Involving patients and the public can enha...

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...

This paper shares learnings from the evaluation of the WeCount urban mobility citizen science project, in which citizens participated in several ways, from technical development to engagement and evaluation. Drawing on asset-based community developme... Read More about Reflecting on deepening participation in recruitment and evaluation in citizen science - lessons from the WeCount project.

Citizen-led emission reductions: Behaviour change intention is positively correlated to citizen enjoyment and learning in public engagement activities (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg Rogers, L., Sardo, M., & Laggan, S. (2023, April). Citizen-led emission reductions: Behaviour change intention is positively correlated to citizen enjoyment and learning in public engagement activities. Presented at Public Communication of Science and Technology 2023 (PCST2023), Rotterdam, Netherlands

Science communicators need to co-create engagement activities which are enjoyable, inclusive, and attractive to diverse citizens representing regional demographics. Over 8,300 people from six European countries took part in the ClairCity project, aim...
