learning opportunities that put a focus on the Earth, such as citizen science, in 2020.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With support from the National Library of Medicine and based on feedback from the Citizen Science Association’s “Citizen Science Day” working group, SciStarter and Arizona State University are pleased to announce “Citizen Science Month”
(April 2020)! Tune in to this webinar to discover how you can access many free resources to help introduce, shape, or support citizen science in your library.<o:p></o:p></p>
